Detroit Film Critics announced nominees and winners, but their website doesn’t reference when they were announced posted, so I have no official dates. As to the nominees and winners, the top nominees were not the big winners from this group, though many of the selections are familiar to those who follow these awards. Emma Stone earns her second bit of recognition this season. She’ll need all the help she can get.
