The Critics’ Choice Movie Awards fall for Black Swan

Darren Aronofsky and his Black Swan received a record-setting 12 nominations from the BFCA this week, upgrading Mila Kunis to "contender" status for "Supporting Actress," among other categories.

The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, in their 16th year, gave Darren Aronofsky’s much talked-about Black Swan a record-setting 12 nominations. In a close 2nd place are the Coen brothers’ remake of True Grit and British biopic The King’s Speech with 11 nominations each. In a surprising turn of events, Mila Kunis (Black Swan), Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom), and Jeremy Renner (The Town) are looking more likely to secure “Supporting” Oscar nominations in their respective categories. Noomi Repace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) is also a pleasant addition to the “Lead Actress” race. However, she knocked out many critics’ favorites in Lesley Manville (Another Year) and Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right) from possible — and probably critical — nominations. The spurned actresses can take solace, though, in the fact that their bids would ultimately have been useless. If BFCA leans the same way in the “Best Actress” race it has for the past two years, it will most likely draw a tie between the race’s frontrunners, between “America’s Sweetheart” and “The Acclaimed Veteran” (i.e. Natalie Portman and Annette Bening).
