OBAA is closely followed by Chloé Zhao's Hamnet, led by Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, with eight nods. Both movies were nominated for film of the year, with stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Buckley also nominated for actor and actress of the year, respectively. Ryan Coogler's deep-South horror Sinners was nominated in seven categories, including film of the year. Also nominated in that category are Josh Safdie's sports comedy Marty Supreme, with six nominations, while the dark comedy-drama Sorry, Baby landed five, four of them for first-time writer-director-star Eva Victor.

Rounding out the critics' top ten are Zach Cregger's summer hit Weapons, with three nominations, and Clint Bentley's Train Dreams, with two. Harry Lighton's queer drama Pillion was nominated for three awards, including British/Irish film of the year, where it will compete alongside Hamnet, Tom Basden and Tim Key's musical-comedy The Ballad of Wallis Island, Yorgos Lanthimos' sci-fi satire Bugonia, and Kirk Jones' BIFA-winning drama I Swear.
Jane Crowther, London Critics' Circle film section chair, said: "At a time when AI and homogeny seems to be the shorthand answer to everything, it's encouraging to see the films that our members voted for are teeming with human life, creativity and unique perspectives. "Boasting bold, vital stories, real experiences and artistry, these movies and their creative teams are evidence that not everything can be made by an algorithm. The LFCC is delighted to be inviting such a diverse group of artists to our awards in February to celebrate their achievements.' The winners in all categories will be announced at The May Fair in London Feb. 1, 2026, at a ceremony hosted by critic Mark Kermode.
