North Texas Critics Spread the Love with their Awards

The North Texas Film Critics Association have announced their winners for the 2020 season today, with Steven Yeun getting a boost, taking the win in the Best Actor category over Riz Ahmed, Delroy Lindo, and Chadwick Boseman. Those three men have been dominating the critic’s groups this season without much room for anyone else to break in, so it’s nice to see the very deserving Yeun get some recognition with his first critics win here. 

Elsewhere, the Nomadland critical domination continues, with the blowout critic’s favorite in Best Picture and Best Director notching another two prizes there for Chloé Zhao’s beloved film. Carey Mulligan also come on strong with another Best Actress win, adding to her National Board of Review win for the day.
