NYFCO (Prizes and Top Ten List)

Need one more critics group for the day? No? Well then don't open up this window.

The New York Film Critics Online, which is a fairly new organization as critics awards go, embraced most of the Oscar frontrunners with the exception of The King's Speech. Their awards went like so... I may have missed a few but I shall update again if I have.


Picture: The Social Network
  • Their top ten list is (alpha order) 127 Hours, Another Year, Black Swan, Blue Valentine, The Ghost Writer, Inception, The Kids Are All Right, The King's Speech, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and The Social Network
  •  
A couple mild surprises in that top ten but the awards themselves are very Oscar-predictiony.
