Results are in! Compared to the 52 films that got any mention [1], we got 60 titles with my favorite film Haider destroying anything with 10 categories, closely followed (surprisingly) by Dedh Ishqiya. Mommy follows suit, unsurprisingly… and strong showing from Enemy. Totally unexpected? Tetsuya Nakashima’s The World of Kanako with 4 nods, out of the blue nods for 2 States, Mr. Turner (with its deserving nods) and Anurag Kashyap’s Ugly.
There’s also ultimately low showing of Whiplash.
Here’s a complete detail breakdown by film and by number of nods.
No Supporting Actress nod for Erica Rivas (Relatos Salvajes)? :(
It didn’t make it, but I did consider her. The problem of it being a segment xD
