    Eligibility criteria:
    American
    Motion picture with significant creative and/or production elements from the United States. The motion picture need not be presented in the English language if it is incontrovertibly American.

And PGA is comparatively crowded - they'll almost certainly go for a Top 10 similar to BFCA, with maybe The Master or Beasts/Moonrise traded out for more mainstream Hollywood fare.

    Nice explanation.

    Also, voting begins on the 17th & Ballots are due January 3rd.... so maybe if the reviews continue to do well it will gather more buzz.

    I'm just having trouble imagining them not going for it.
