‘Birdman’ leads 2014 Phoenix Film Critics Society nominations

Finally “Boyhood” gets trumped, though just barely. Alejandro González Iñárritu's “Birdman” was the nominations hog with the Phoenix crowd with 10 mentions. But Richard Linklater's opus was just a few steps behind with eight. Also with eight nominations was “Gone Girl,” which picked up refreshing recognition in the Best Supporting Actress arena for Carrie Coon.

“The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Into the Woods” and “The Theory of Everything” picked up seven nods apiece.

Check out the full list of nominees below. Winners will be announced on Dec. 16.
