Inside Llewyn Davis Sweeps the National Society of Film Critics Awards (NSFCA)


While all the Guilds have been ignoring the Coen Brothers film, Inside Llewyn Davis just swept the National Society of Film Critics Awards (NFSCA).  Could ignoring this film be the biggest mistake by the Academy?
Inside Llewyn Davis still has a shot at a Best Picture nomination, maybe Director, Original Screenplay, and Cinematography, but nothing more.  The only award Davis lost was Best Screenplay to Before Midnight.  Shockingly Her was left off this list.  The list of the full winners and runners up is down below.
