National Society of Film Critics {Winners}

Having now won the LAFCA and NSFC, 'There Will Be Blood' looks strong, but I can't help but think that it's still too heavy for this year. Especially when the evident frontrunner is the Coen brothers' violent 'No Country For Old Men'. Argh, this Picture race is fucked up.
