The Detroit Film Critics Society Awards Announce Their Film Nominations

The nominations for the Detroit Film Critics Society Awards, which will take place on December 7th, have just been announced. For the first time this season, The Disaster Artist gets a Best Picture citation and Patrick Stewart gets his first citation in Best Supporting Actor for Logan. Meanwhile, Tiffany Haddish gets a slight boost in her Oscar campaign for Best Supporting Actress for Girls Trip. Interestingly, despite being called the DETROIT Film Critics Society, they haven’t nominated the film named after the city anywhere.
