Broadcast Film Critics Association Award Nominations

12 Years A Slave and American Hustle led the pack with 13 nominations a piece. Along with the Globes, the BFCA awards are one of the first televised award show events, which help set up winning momentum and offer the winner a chance to charm potential voting bodies with their speeches/personality.

They're also very famous for trying to predict the Oscars in the main categories, and most of the time they're right
