The San Francisco Film Critics Circle Awards unveiled their lineup of nominees. While a fair amount of the films and performances in their lineup are consensus picks, they did make some idiosyncratic choices, like nominating Andy Serkis in Best Actor for War For The Planet Of The Apes. Also, Melissa Leo finally gets her first mention in Best Supporting Actress for Novitiate and Annette Bening clearly hasn’t been forgotten in the crowded Best Actress field as she was nominated for Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool.
The winners will be announced on Sunday, December 10th.
