The votes were counted and we have our nominations for the 5th annual Pandora International Film Critics. And in spite of the expected high tallies for Oppenheimer, Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon, a large bunch of renowned international films did extremely well – including the likes of Past Lives, Society of the Snow, Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest.
Elsewhere in the English language film world, Barbie and The Holdovers under-performed in relation to the rest of the awards season – while Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret and Priscilla flourished in several categories. One of the most refreshing surprises was the three acting nominations for Passages.
Please see the full list of nominations below and feel free to share across all mediums.
