OSCAR WATCH: Critics Choice Nominations


"I can see clearly now, the rain is gone." After the confusion of last week's SAG and Golden Globe nominations, the race is starting to take shape across the various categories. If you weren't convinced before, then now you should know that "Mad Max: Fury Road". The action extravaganza lead all films in today's Critics Choice nominations with a whopping 13 nominations. Also holding on strong are "Spotlight", "Carol", "The Martian", "The Revenant" and most unexpectedly, "The Big Short". Until something drastic happens like a whisper campaign, these are your top contenders, folks. The next phase will begin in a few weeks with all the red carpets and speeches we love. And then after that, it's the Oscar nominations! Will the Academy match up with the critics this year? Peruse the nominations below and let me know what you think.
