Another critics announcement with “Birdman” leading the way. It's really starting to look like that film, “Boyhood” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” as the critical darlings of the year. All three had strong showings with the Detroit Film Critics Society, which also got nice and funky with some “Under the Skin” and “Whiplash” love throughout. Not to mention “The Babadook.”
Check out the full list of nominees below. Winners will be announced Dec. 19. And check out The Circuit for a whole lot more.
