“Da 5 Bloods” Gets A Boost From The North Carolina Film Critics Association

Another critics group has weighed in today, as the precursor season continues. This one is the North Carolina Film Critics Association, and their nominees highlighted a contender that’s currently doing a bit better than expected. It’s Spike Lee’s movie Da 5 Bloods, which some worried would get lost in the shuffle among Netflix awards contenders. In fact, it’s arguably doing better than any, showing up enough so far to give Delroy Lindo a boost in Best Actor and Chadwick Boseman a potential double nomination with a citation in Best Supporting Actor. It’s early days still, but Lee’s flick is doing very well. Read on below for all of the nominees out of North Carolina… Here now are the NCFCA nominations: BEST NARRATIVE FILM Da 5 Bloods Minari Nomadland Promising Young Woman The Trial of the Chicago 7 BEST DOCUMENTARY FILM All In: The Fight for Democracy Boys State David Byrne’s American Utopia Dick Johnson is Dead Time BEST ANIMATED FILM The Croods 2: A New Age Onward Over the Moon Soul Wolfwalkers BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM Another Round Bacarau Beanpole La llorona Night of Kings BEST DIRECTOR Emerald Fennel (Promising Young Woman) David Fincher (Mank) Regina King (One Night in Miami) Spike Lee (Da 5 Bloods) Chloé Zhao (Nomadland) BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY Hoyte Van Hoytema (Tenet) Erik Messerschmidt (Mank) Joshua James Richards (Nomadland) Newton Thomas Sigel (Da 5 Bloods) Dariusz Wolski (News of the World) BEST ACTOR Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal) Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) Anthony Hopkins (The Father) Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods) Steven Yeun (Minari) BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Chadwick Boseman (Da 5 Bloods) Sacha Baron Cohen (The Trial of the Chicago 7) Bill Murray (On the Rocks) Paul Raci (Sound of Metal) David Strathairn (Nomadland) BEST ACTRESS Jessie Buckley (I’m Thinking of Ending Things) Viola Davis (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) Frances McDormand (Nomadland) Elisabeth Moss (The Invisible Man) Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman) BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm) Toni Colette (I’m Thinking of Ending Things) Olivia Colman (The Father) Amanda Seyfried (Mank) Youn Yuh-jung (Minari) BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY Da 5 Bloods (Danny Bilson; Paul De Meo; Kevin Willmott; Spike Lee) Mank (Jack Fincher) Minari (Lee Isaac Chung) Promising Young Woman (Emerald Fennell) The Trial of the Chicago 7 (Aaron Sorkin) BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY First Cow (Jon Raymond; Kelly Reichardt) I’m Thinking of Ending Things (Charlie Kaufman) Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (Ruben Santiago-Hudson) Nomadland […]
