Oh my gosh, this is amazing. Thank you so much for doing this.
Are you going to finish your 2016 Film Bitch Awards?
Exhaustive and much appreciated!
That's brilliant, thank you! Such a great time of year - I love all these award announcements.
I am sooooo ready.
The AACTA Awards are on December 6th. Nicole Kidman is nominated twice, and Toni Collette is nominated for her work in Blue Murder. https://www.aacta.org/aacta-awards/winners-and-nominees/
No mention of the National Society of Film Critics awards? They actually tend to pick the best films more often than anyone else year after year.
Dan H -- they rarely announce their date this early. and they're always one of the last to announce.
Thank you, Nathaniel. You are doing God's work. Getting amped now.
Till MARCH??!! omg
