NIGHTCRAWLER SPEEDS AHEAD AT SAN DIEGO FILM CRITICS SOCIETY


Its rise to the middle of the pack this awards season is nowhere near as stunning as Slumdog Millionaire's rise to the very top six years ago, but Nightcrawler's steady ascent since TIFF has been impressive nonetheless. It reached what may be its peak today, with a terrific haul from the San Diego Film Critics Society. The group's nominations confirmed a more individualistic approach to the voting process than many of their critical counterparts this year, and this slate of winners only re-emphasises that point. Nightcrawler wins seven awards, basically leaving its competitors in the dust; will this enthusiasm for Dan Gilroy's debut film translate into Oscar nominations a month from today? I'm still not sold. Here are the winners from SDFCS in full:
