There’s not a lot to say about these awards except that they were mostly like other groups with some very bizarre selections (such as The Mitchells vs. the Machines for Best Original Screenplay). Either they didn’t get to see all of the film or personal predilections got in the way of films like Licorice Pizza, Belfast, and others.
