BROADCAST CRITICS AWARDS NOMINEES

The Broadcast Film Association has unleashed the list of nominees for the Broadcast Critics Awards. Hugo has received quite the buzz with 11 nominations, and although I haven't seen it yet everyone I have heard from that saw it says it's the must-see movie of the year. So with that being said I'm placing a huge bet that Hugo, War Horse, and The Help will receive multiple nominations for the 2012 Academy Awards. Other nominated actors  including Ryan Gosling, for his intense performance in Drive, Viola Davis in The Help (although I would have loved to see Octavia Spencer get a nomination), the very sexy Michael Fassbender in the sex addiction film Shame, Tilda Swinton in We Need To Talk About Kevin as a mother of a son who kills a couple of kids in school, Melissa McCarthy in the hilarious comedy Bridesmaids, and Charlize Theron in Young Adult, but also keep an eye out for her as the evil Queen in Snow White & The Huntsman because that film is set to put the actress back on top where she belongs. Check out the nominees below...
