3:15 pm: The National Society of Film Critics hasn’t chosen its Best Picture winner yet, but you know these holier-than-Joe-Popcorn elitists are going to go with The Brutalist or Nickel Boys. They’re coming from a basic anti-pleasure principle.
A majority of NSFC voters preferred to support Sing Sing‘s Colman Domingo (60 votes) and secondly Adrien Brody (51 votes) for Best Actor instead of Conclave‘s Ralph Fiennes or A Complete Unknown‘s Timothee Chalamet…you can always predict which way the dweebs will blow.
HE supports the honoring of A Real Pain‘s Kieran Culkin, and I respect giving the Best Actress trophy to Hard Truths‘ Marianne Jean-Baptiste.
