The Broadcast Film Critics Association has announced that it has belatedly added Star Wars: The Force Awakens to the list of nominees for Best Picture at the 2016 Critics’ Choice Awards.
The decision was made after a poll of members yesterday, asking whether the film – which was not screened to members prior to the official nomination announcements – should be added to the Best Picture contenders.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens will contest the Best Picture Award against The Big Short, Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, Carol, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Martian, The Revenant, Room, Sicario and Spotlight.
