The Indiana Film Journalists Association (IFJA) has announced the nominees in all categories for its forthcoming 2019 awards — to be determined on Saturday, December 14.
Winners will be announced on Monday, December 16.
The IFJA will determine a winner and a runner-up in all categories other than the Hoosier Award, which is a physical award bestowed upon a single recipient. Hoosier Award nominees are also not published ahead of the announcement of winners.
