One last (I presume) set of critics’ award nominations before we head into the second stage of Oscar season: the International Conephile Society is made up of over 80 international journalists and film professionals, and that diversity is reflected in the nominations, with “A Separation” topping the list with 10 nominations (including four acting bids, none of them for the superb Sarina Farhadi). I participated in the voting, which probably won’t surprise you when you read the nomination tallies for “Weekend” and “Margaret.” Full list after the jump.
