The Detroit Film Critics Society has announced nominations for 2013, and it’s not “12 Years a Slave” or “Her” or “Gravity” dominating the list, but indie “Short Term 12” and NYFCC winner “American Hustle,” with five nods apiece. That’s a nice change of pace. “The Wolf of Wall Street” finally shows up in a regional critics list, and it warms my heart to see Matthew McConaughey finally land some precursor recognition for “Mud” (in a truly colorful Best Supporting Actor line-up). Check out the full list below, and keep track of all the goings-on at The Circuit.
