Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” and Sam Mendes’ “1917” have nabbed six nominations each at the London Critics’ Circle film awards while British movie “The Souvenir” is leading the nominations with whopping seven noms.

According to Deadline, the movie directed by Joanna Hogg has received seven nominations, including Best Picture. Tilda Swinton has been included on the list of actresses battling it out for Best Supporting Actress while actor Tom Burke will compete for the Best Actor trophy.

Meanwhile, it was Scorsese’s crime drama that got nominated across all the major categories. The movie will compete against “Joker,” “Knives Out,” “1917,” “Parasite” and “Midsommar” in the Best Picture category.

Directors like Bong Joon Ho, Todd Phillips, Mendes, Pedro Almodovar and Celine Sciamma are competing for the trophy in the Best Director category.

Florence Pugh is the only one to receive double nominations for her stellar work in “Little Woman” and “Midsommar.” Pugh will compete against Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong’O, Charlize Theron and Renee Zellweger for the Best Actress trophy. Meanwhile, the “Little Women” star will also be up for the Best Supporting Actress award during the ceremony. Laura Dern, Jennifer Lopez, Margot Robbie and Swinton are also nominated.

Not just that, Pugh is also in the running for the Best British/Irish Actress of the Year.

On the other hand, Antonio Banderas has made the cut in the Best Actor list for his impeccable acting skills in the Spanish movie “Pain And Glory.” Other actors nominated include the likes of Adam Driver, Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro, and Burke.
