Awards Chair Rich Cline said, \u201cBecause our critics see almost everything that\u2019s released, they nominated more than 180 titles in the Film of the Year category alone.\u201d He said the list of nominees goes against expectations and is \u201cvery distinctive in the current awards season\u201d as it includes two women for best director and performances that other groups are overlooking: \u201cWith such a wide range of titles on the ballots, getting a nomination is a real achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n
