Consensus title "Lincoln" continues to lead the Oscar pack as the film took NYFCC Best Actor, Supporting Actress and Screenplay. Tim Burton's artful "Frankenweenie," while not a box office hit, will continue to lead the animation Oscar race. The film critics catapulted Rachel Weisz into the weak best actress race; little-seen "The Deep Blue Sea" will now rise to the top of awards voter screener piles. Matthew McConaughey is also now a serious supporting actor contender for his bravura performance in Steven Soderbergh's "Magic Mike," in all likelihood, among all the films he scored in this year.
Other Oscar contenders that could have used some help received none, including "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Moonrise Kingdom," "The Master," "Life of Pi," "The Sessions" and "Silver Linings Playbook."

i thoroughly enjoyed DDL's performance in linoln, but thought overall the movie had a very heavy handed directorial vibe. but even as much as i enjoy DDL's performance, joaquin phoenix in the master was something of a revelation. i do hope he gets some love this awards season.

So lucky that "Silver Linings Playbook" has been ignored by NYFCC. This is just B/B- movie.

NYFCC, thank you for injecting some needed excitement into the awards season. I am sick of Oscar prognosticators dominating the race and manipulating public consciousness like a puppet master. Finally, critics with the audacity to celebrate their individuality and vote for what they believe in, not what they are supposed to believe in. I hope this is not a flux, I fervently hope this trend continues through awards season. Thank you!!!
