St. Louis Film Critics Nominees

Some interesting choices, including My Week With Marilyn, Hanna, Alan Rickman, and John Goodman. Plus some nice looks at Drive, MMMM, and GWTDT. Once again, the critics are not lining up like last year, and so the SAG and GG nomination announcements could be interesting to say the least.
