The Georgia Film Critics’ Association is a young and fairly small group: they’ve been going three years and have 10 members, which means their nominee list is a bit less groupthink-influenced than most. “12 Years a Slave” might lead the field with 11 nods, but there are unusual choices elsewhere: while “American Hustle” and “Inside Llewyn Davis” share second place with seven mentions, so does Shane Carruth’s “Upstream Color,” which landed Carruth nods for directing, writing, cinematography and score. Meanwhile, “Mud” found some Southern comfort with a Best Picture nod. Full list below; everything else at The Circuit.
