NETFLIX’S “Marriage Story” starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson leads this year’s Vancouver Film Critics Circle nominations with a total of five, including acting category nods for the movie’s two leads and Laura Dern.

Noah Baumbach’s divorce drama will also vie in the best picture category with Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” and Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite.” Baumbach missed on a best director nomination but will challenge for best screenplay.

The best director competition will pit Bong Joon-ho against Sam Mendes for “1917” and Scorsese for “The Irishman,” another Netflix awards season contender.

Vancouver film critics nominated Johansson for best actress, in a category where she will go up against Lupita Nyong’o for “Us” and Saoirse Ronan for her star turn in “Little Women.”

The best actor competition will see Driver go up against Antonio Banderas for “Pain and Glory” and Joaquin Phoenix for his titular starring role in “Joker.” And Dern will vie in the best supporting actress category against Jennifer Lopez for “Hustlers” and Florence Pugh for “Little Women.”

Elsewhere, the best supporting actor competition will see Joe Pesci (“The Irishman”) go up against Tom Hanks for “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” and Brad Pitt for “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” Winners will be announced today in Vancouver.
