Precursor: 5th Seattle Critics Nominations (2020)

Minari does surprisingly well with the Seattle film critics while The Trial of the Chicago 7 and One Nigh in Miami do disappointingly. Ma Rainey’s picked up a few citations, as did Da 5 Bloods, but neither were in Best Picture while Judas and the Black Messiah was.
