‘Everything Everywhere’ leads IFJA nominations
The Indiana Film Journalists Association (IFJA) has announced nominees for its forthcoming 2022 awards, with winners to be revealed on Monday, Dec. 19.
The multiversal odyssey Everything Everywhere All At Once leads all films with 12 total nominations. The Northman received 11 nominations, while After Yang took 10 nominations and RRR earned nine.
Among individual nominees, Happening director/co-writer Audrey Diwan, performer Colin Farrell (After Yang, The Banshees of Inisherin, The Batman), Aftersun writer/director Charlotte Wells, and After Yang writer, director and editor Kogonada each received three nominations.
The IFJA is pleased to announce that its lead and supporting performance awards are now gender-neutral. The organization has also added the following new categories this year: Best Editing, Best Cinematography and Best Stunt/Movement Choreography.
As has been its practice, the IFJA considers films on a chronological calendar, determined by when screening /screeners are made available to all its voting members.
The IFJA will determine a winner and runner-up in all categories other than the Edward Johnson-Ott Hoosier Award. As a special award honoring a film or filmmaker with a strong Indiana connection, only the winner is revealed. Nominees for this award are also not released in advance.
In addition to Best Film and Runner-Up, the IFJA also will release an overall Top 10, with eight other honored films listed alphabetically.
