"BLACK Swan," a melodrama set in the ballet world, took center stage among the nominees for the Critics' Choice Movie Awards, an event that has surpassed the Golden Globes as a leading Oscars predictor.
The film, drawing sell-out crowds in early limited release across North America, scored 12 nominations - a record in the event's 16-year history, organizers said yesterday.
Close behind - with 11 each - were the British drama "The King's Speech" and the yet-to-open Western remake "True Grit." Sci-fi smash "Inception" got 10 nominations, and corporate drama "The Social Network" nine.
All five will vie for both best picture and director, along with "127 Hours." The 10-strong best picture race also includes "The Fighter," "The Town," "Toy Story 3" and "Winter's Bone."
Small art-house releases dominated the field, leaving "Toy Story 3" and "Inception" to fly the flag for mainstream crowd-pleasers. Notably absent among the nominees were such awards-season contenders as Sofia Coppola's upcoming "Somewhere" and the Martin Scorsese hit °?"Shutter Island."
Winners will be announced on January 14 in a Hollywood ceremony.
In the last 10 years, at least half the Critics' Choice acting winners have gone on to claim gold at the Oscars.
