Now the clear front runner this awards season, The Irishman leads the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS) award nominations with a total of eight, but it's closely followed by Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood with seven and Parasite and Marriage Story with six apiece.

The OFCS is an international body but bases its awards on film that have screened in New York or Los Angeles - the same rules used by the Oscars.
