International Cinephile Society Nominees

Now THESE are some nominees! I haven't seem everything, but what I have seen is generally terrific, and I absolutely LOVE the fact that the ICS nominated Peter Capaldi AND Abbie Cornish AND Tilda Swinton; it's about time. That said, the snubbing of Nine in the art/tech categories is lame.
