Yeah, those were the names that appeared on the top of my mind. Thanks for some more!
Didn't get around to mentioning groups!

No. Every film critics award ostensibly honors the calender year, and the calender year alone.

Explain how we can make them clearer sis.

This looks great!
You should add Perfume Genius to the male category too. Best male album of '14 easily.

Girls, have you been thinking about your choices yet?
We need to decide some stuff.

I'm sure most of my choices would be similar to the ATRL Grammy's so let me just look over what I submitted for that

I've been going over the year-end lists, and have discovered the Sun Kil Moon album as it has topped a few of them.
Yeah, he's going to get my vote in Male this year. Or at least first place.

We have DEFINITELY streamlined the process. A more selective choice of voters lines up to the way film critics run their annual awards. Can't have just any Tom, Dick and Harry showing up.

Trust, Le1f, Perfume Genius, Ryan Adams, Caribou, How To Dress Well, Ariel Pink, Beck, Mac DeMarco, The Bug, RiFF RAFF and MNEK were my favorite solo males this year.

Just discovered the Mac DeMarco album. Finally I have more than three solid contenders for Male!

I want to establish a new category this year: Biggest Disappointment. I know Jessie Ware, Katy B, and Princess of Brat-Swag Pop would be my three choices.

Shakira and Kylie were musically the biggest disappointments of the year for me. I had such high hopes.

Caustic Love is still my favorite male album of the year. Sun Kil Moon and Ariel Pink's albums I keep going back and forth on, especially since I dislike both as a person.

They're referring to Cher Lloyd I guess.

I liked all three of those albums and my choices for this are all on your contenders list.

Ms. Ware's OPUS was most certainly not anyone's letdown of the year. 
And let's get the ball rolling before I get myself 86'd, yeah?
