Critics Choice Awards 2011: record di nomination per Black Swan – Il Cigno Nero

Un weekend da urlo, con una media per sala superiore ai 30,000 dollari, e una pioggia di nomination ai prossimi Critics Choice Awards, ambitisismi premi della critica cinematografica americana. A guardare tutti dall’alto, e ad aggiornare il record di nomination, Black Swan di Darren Aronofsky, riuscito ad ottenere ben 12 candidature. A seguire True Grit e The King’s Speech, con 11, Inception, con 10, e The Social Network, con 9.

La pellicola di Aronofsky, uscita da Venezia senza premi per volere di Quentin Tarantino (con Somewhere che, dal canto suo, non se lo sta filando nessuno), ha fatto sue le candidature a Miglior film, attrice, protagonista e non, e regia. Novità interessanti sul fronte delle candidature a Miglior film Straniero, visto che non c’è La prima cosa Bella di Virzì bensì Io sono l’amore di Luca Guadagnino, sbeffeggiato in Italia ma amatissimo dalla critica statunitense. 15 anni dopo il suo primo Critics Choice Awards, vinto con Da Morire, Nicole Kidman agguanta un altro record, ovvero quello della settima nomination, grazie a Rabbit Hole, mentre sorprendono le due ‘baby candidature’ di Hailee Steinfeld (14 anni) per True Grit e Chloe Grace Moretz (13 anni) per Let Me In e Kick-Ass.

Il prossimo 14 gennaio all’Hollywood Palladium verranno assegnati gli ambiti premi, con le nomination che vi attendono dopo il saltino. Chi vinse lo scorso anno? The Hurt Locker, e se tanto ci da’ tanto…
