The 2021 Critics Choice Awards nominations were announced this morning. Congrats to David Fincher and the 12 noms gathered by Mank. Come one, nearly come all…almost everyone’s invited…spread it around…may the best contenders win, or at the very least show up. Will the March 7th show happen “live” with actual bodies, tables, food, drinks, red carpet, etc.? Of course not.
