They also seem to have nominated almost everything.

No love for Helena Bonham Carter there, but first time nom for DiCaprio for Inception, I think. No love for Another Year or Blue Valentine.

I'm annoyed by these awards where there isn't a fixed number of nominees. And even then they add the Best Overlooked category. Such a joke.

Why does Central Ohio require its own film critics association? Couldn't they just combine with the rest of Ohio?

Columbus is a pretty large city. So's Cleveland.
