As extraordinarily expansive as these nominations may appear, they're not nominations as we might recognise them - instead, these seem to be all of the films and people nominated for these awards by at least one member of the association. Going by their website, and past form, their winners will reveal runners-up for all categories, and a top ten for Best Film. This is the first year that they've revealed their nominations, which, in this case, seems to entail revealing the full extent of the tastes of their members. This may go some way to explaining why they're such a peculiar selection, and I imagine that the IFJA is not the largest of critics associations. Winners will be announced on Monday.
