In addition, Jeffrey Wright will receive the Dilys Powell Award for Excellence in Film.
"We are thrilled to present such an iconic actor as Jeffrey Wright with the Dilys Powell Award. And we are planning another special award as well, new this year, to be announced soon. As always, our nominees stand out from other awards because our members actually take the time to watch all of the year's films," Critics' Circle Film Section chair Rich Cline said in a press release.
"So these nominations represent a cross-section of the very best movies we saw in 2023. Instead of being critical, it's nice to celebrate films, filmmakers and performances that deserve attention."
