Los Angeles Online Film Critics Society Nominations Revealed

For the 2nd time, the Los Angeles Online Film Critics Society (LAOFCS) announced their nominations for the films of 2018. The Favourite is certainly now living up to its name, featuring in many of the expected categories once again. Black Panther is also making a strong case for the blockbuster movie, with the likes of A Star Is Born, BlacKkKlansman, and Eighth Grade not going away any time soon.

I make sure it's known the company's in business. I'd see that it had a certain panache. That's what I'm good at. Not the work, not the work... the presentation.
