I'm quite happy with the nominations overall. The three best films--Mommy, Maps, and Tu Dors Nicole--came on very strong, while some worthwhile performances like Michael Murphy in Fall and Sandrine Bisson in 1987 got some love, although I am surprised that Miraculum received no acting nominations (but some of its cast is repped elsewhere) and that Felix and Meira and Corbo isn't present, although the latter must be waiting until next year. The shorts nominations are especially good, with films such as Day 40, Soif, and Migration among the animated nominees and with Jutra and Seth's Dominion repping the short docs. The feature documentary nominations have the curious absence of Monsoon--not even a cinematography nomination?--in favour of the crowdpleaser Marinoni. I'm happy to see a cinematography shout out for Everything Will Be and an editing nom for Super Duper Alice Cooper (both well deserved).
Oh, and that VFX nomination for Wet Bum? So random, but how fun would that be if it trumped Pompeii???
