44th London Critics Circle Awards Nominations Announced

Nominations for the 44th London Film Critics Circle Awards have been announced. The winners will be announced during a February 4, 2024, ceremony hosted by film critic Mark Kermode.

In a statement, Rich Cline, the Chair of the London Critics Circle’s Film Section, said that actor Jeffrey Wright will receive the Dilys Powell Award and that “As always, our nominees stand out from other awards because our members actually take the time to watch all of the year’s films. So these nominations represent a cross-section of the very best movies we saw in 2023. Instead of being critical, it’s nice to celebrate films, filmmakers and performances that deserve attention.”
