The Chicago Film Critics Association (CFCA) today announces nominees for their top film honors of 2019; winners will be announced at the organization’s annual Awards Dinner on Saturday, December 14 in Chicago. Leading with nine nominations in all is Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood. Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman and Greta Gerwig’s Little Women claim eight nominations each, while Marriage Story and Parasite, from Noah Baumbach and Bong Joon Ho respectively, each receive seven. A complete list of nominees is below.
Comprised of voting members who represent outlets including the Chicago Sun-Times, The New York Times, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, RogerEbert.com, The A.V Club, Vulture, NPR and many more, the Chicago Film Critics Association annually presents traditional awards including Best Picture, Director, Actor and Actress, among others. With a particular focus on emerging talents, the CFCA also presents breakthrough awards to both an actor and filmmaker with the most promise for future career achievements. This year, the Breakthrough Filmmaker Award was renamed to the Milos Stehlik Award for Breakthrough Filmmaker, in honor of the longtime CFCA member and pillar of the Chicago film community who passed away in July.

About the Chicago Film Critics Association
The Chicago Film Critics Association supports and celebrates quality filmmaking that has something to say about our world, our lives, and our society. In the past, while the CFCA’s priority was to support and fight for the continued role of film critics in the media, the CFCA's public interaction was limited to the announcement of its annual film awards. In recent years, the CFCA has expanded its presence on the Chicago arts scene, promoting critical thinking about cinema to a wider base through several initiatives, including the re-launch of a late-winter film awards ceremony; CFCA-hosted film screenings throughout Chicagoland; and a Young People's Film Criticism Workshop at Facets Multimedia. The annual Chicago Critics Film Festival further builds on the organization’s goal to be an active part of the Chicago film landscape. Learn more at www.chicagofilmcritics.org.
