In total, The Power of the Dog received nine nominations, including film of the year, director and screenwriter of the year for Campion, and five acting nods (including two for its lead, Benedict Cumberbatch).
Jane Campion’s western The Power of the Dog emerged at the head of the pack in the nominations for the London Critics’ Circle film awards, followed by The Lost Daughter, the Maggie Gyllenhaal-directed adaptation of an Elena Ferrante novel, and Joanna Hogg’s autobiographical The Souvenir Part II.
The winners, voted on by the 180 members of the film section of the Critics’ Circle, will be announced on 6 February.
That was three ahead of The Lost Daughter, which received six, including film of the year and two each for actors Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley.
