Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Martin McDonagh’s drama Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri leads the way with seven nominations for the 38th London Critics’ Circle Film Awards.

Following close behind with six nominations each are William Oldroyd’s Lady Macbeth and Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread. Four films earned five nominations each: Luca Guagadino’s Call Me By Your Name, Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, Paul King’s Paddington 2, and Francis Lee’s God’s Own Country.

The ten films contending for film of the year are Call Me By Your Name, Dunkirk, The Florida Project, Get Out, God’s Own Country, Lady Bird, Loveless, Phantom Thread, The Shape of Water, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

Multiple nominees today include Sally Hawkins, Daniel Day-Lewis, Gary Oldman, Florence Pugh and Daniel Kaluuya, nominated as actresses and actors for specific performances as well as for their body of work as British/Irish performers.

The winners will be announced on Sunday, 28th January at The May Fair Hotel. Kate Winslet will receive the The Dilys Powell Award for Excellence in Film.

“Because our critics see everything that’s released, they nominated more than 150 titles in the Film of the Year category alone,” said awards chair Rich Cline. “This year we seem to have skewed toward more independent titles, but there was also love for blockbusters from Blade Runner 2049 to Wonder Woman and Thor: Ragnarok alongside foreign-language gems like Tom of Finland, In Between and My Life as a Courgette. With such a wide range of titles on the ballots, getting a nomination is a real achievement.”
