Let's Debate the NC Film Critic Nominations of 2024 with Harrison Martin and Anthony Holden

Sebastian Stan in A DIFFERENT MAN

Harrison Martin, Anthony Holden, and I came together to talk about the North Carolina Film Critics Association (NCFCA) nominees for 2024. The NCFCA is made up of 70 some members who either work or live in the Tar Heel state. To see the full list of nominations, as well as previous years' winners, visit the website. 

This ambitious group boasts 27 categories of awards, including some unusual categories such as voice actor, directorial debut, breakthrough performance, the Ken Hanke Memorial Tar Heel Award for a film or person with a North Carolina connection, and a lifetime achievement award that honors a contribution to cinema in a different category each year. This year the group elected to award an achievement in cinematography. We chose to talk about 16 of the categories for this conversation. We encourage you to follow the group's business at ncfilmcritics.org or on Twitter @NCFilmCritics.

The final winners will be announced on January 3, 2024. Stay tuned until then.
