Sally Field is the winner in for Lincoln in the Supporting Actress category. Field is on the track to be nominated for her third Oscar, and potentially third win. Many were predicting Hathaway, but Field is another favorite here.
Matthew McConaughey is a little bit more of a surprise winner in the Supporting Actor category for both Bernie, and Magic Mike. McConaughey has changed my opinion and many critics opinions of him this past year with many great roles, and some solid acting. Along with these two roles McConaughey had great roles in The Paperboy, and Killer Joe. While I am a bit surprised by his win; he was touted by critics a lot this year. I am proud of him.
Updated 11 am (PST) : More and more surprises are being handed down from the critics. While many bloggers/prognosticators have been predicting I think most thought the critics awards would try to lean more with the "popular" choice. The Best Actress winner proves they are going for the true best, and bucking this trend. While many thought the award would go to Jennifer Lawrence (I predicted Marion Cotillard), the eventual winner, is a bit of a surprise. Rachel Weisz won for her great performance in The Deep Blue Sea. Weisz's role has been touted also by critics but few bloggers have mentioned her as a true contender. As a previous Oscar winner this helps boost her chances. The serious problem is that very few have seen the film.
The least surprising win for the NYFCC is in the Best Actor category, Daniel Day Lewis for Lincoln. Day Lewis is a clear favorite, and could be one of the first men to win a third Best Actor Oscar. Look for Day Lewis to win numerous critics awards. This is his fourth win in this category, his other wins came from My Left Foot, Gangs of New York, and There will be Blood.
Updated 11:40 am (PST): Lincoln has now taken three top prizes, including Best Screenplay. The screenwriter for the film is wonderful Tony Kushner. At the eleventh hour Lincoln appears to be a huge favorite, but I still foresee a Zero Dark Thirty win. At this stage in the game Lincoln is a massive Best Picture threat, and rightfully.
Updated 11:49 am (PST) Kathryn Bigelow (Zero Dark Thirty) wins the Best Director prize; she is a true force to reckoned with at the Academy Awards this year, and raw brutal direction will put her over the top. Look for her film to win Best Picture. Fun fact Spielberg has never won this award, while this is Bigelow's second win in 5 years!
Updated 12:10 pm (PST) Zero Dark Thirty wins Best Picture!! As predicted within this post, this film looked to be the frontrunner. Zero Dark Thirty wins the top two prizes along with Best Cinematography.
Along with these acting wins here is the rest of the winners listed below
