Critics Choice Awards Nominations: “Black Swan,” “King’s Speech,” “True Grit,” “Social Network” Lead

Share

Here are the nominees from the Critics Choice Awards. The awards ceremony is broadcast on January 14th at 9pm on VH-1. “Black Swan,” “The King’s Speech,” and “The Social Network” got the most nominations. The biggest disappointment: Julianne Moore not making Best Actress. Focus should put her in Best Supporting Actress. And “Greenberg,” one of the best written screenplays, is missing. Otherwise, these nominations are pretty much dead on right.
