Precursor: 6th Phoenix Critics Circle Nominations (2019)

Spreading the love around, the Phoenix Film Critics Circle, one of two groups in the Phoenix area, stuck with a lot of the same titles in its selections for its nominations this year. Nothing particularly surprising, though Parasite doing as well as a major Hollywood production is a good sign for the little South Korean film that could.
