Never heard of this lot before! Always good to see more critics’ groups popping up!
We have known about the gambling and casinos, but now some impressive movie assessments! Ha! Who’d a thunk it?
HUGO is a very fine choice, and Hardy a most original one.
I think Hardy now officially has more critic award wins than Bichir.
Funny, that.
Best Actor – Tom Hardy (Warrior)
YAY!!!
refreshing.
Love it!
Finally Warrior gets a little recognition it deserves!
They really loved Hugo…love it!
This group consists of… wait for it… FIVE VOTING MEMBERS!
http://nevadafilmcriticssociety.org/index.php/society-members
Here’s how the vote for Best Picture probably went down:
Member 1 picked Hugo
Member 2 picked The Descendants
Member 3 picked The Artist
Member 4 picked The Tree of Life
Member 5 picked Hugo
And the winner is HUGOOO! Wow.
I’d love to meet the person who had the brilliant idea for this group to start doing awards. But you have to give him/her credit for instigating the following rule:
NFCS Rules
…
6. All members must vote for the awards
!!
Andrew, if this group had picked your favorite film would you have put so much effort into discrediting them? I just ask you: What’s the point in your little post?
Craig Z, they picked almost everything I would’ve picked and yet I’m still suspicious myself of this new group. They may have the same opinion as me, but 5 members? If it’s supposed to be the NEVADA film critics society, I’d expect it to be a tad bigger knowing there’s already one in Las Vegas with a bigger group of people alone. Just saying, I don’t buy it yet.
Craig, I’m way behind on watching this year’s films and I haven’t seen half of the top BP contenders yet, including Hugo. I usually pack most of them in the month before the Oscars. So I can assure you that I have no particular agenda. There’s no point to my post other than the fact that I was just bewildered by how five persons can actually give out credible awards. I’m not discrediting their opinions, just the need for so-called “awards” that, by definition, should supposedly reflect a certain consensus. Which is impossible to have based on a sample of five elements.
So what? Almost none of these critics groups mean anything anyways. Why take the time to single this one out. Just take it for what it is and move on.
There’s much bigger reason to single this one out than the rest.
Does this mean there could be 5-way ties?
Tom Hardy! Finally someone with SENSE!
I mean seriously, just sit and watch and compare Warrior with lets say, Moneyball or Midnight in Paris…
Warrior deserved much more attention.
Hooray Janet mcteer!!!!
Who knew The Academy, BFCA, and those critics associations would snub Harry Potter’s last film out of the Best Picture race. I mean never thought that the Critic Trio would turn downn a film that made over a billion dollars, had great reviews, and made alot of records not only in ticket sales but on DVD.
This is where I chime in and say how proud I am of the fact that neither Pennsylvania or Philadelphia has a film critics award.
@rufussondheim you said it
@SC8OFFICIAL what amazed me that when Harry Potter firswt released that summer I was surprised that almost everyone were wearing HP costumes, even teenagers and surprisingly a few adults.
Wonderful choices, especially Hugo and Scorsese.
Better late than never… Yawn…
Sonny is wrong. Moneyball and Midnight in Paris were MUCH MUCH BETTER films.
It doesn’t matter how many people chose these or how they did it. The results are more than solid with Tom Hardy being an excellent one. He, Fassbender (Shame), Oldman (Tinker Tailor) and Ryan Gosling (Drive) were THE best lead actor performances of the year, period.
Asa Butterfield’s performance sunk most of HUGO!
I agree with Yashar and others who posted similar statements – the more critics circles who announce awards, the better. Without them, Hardy, Shannon and Fassbender would receive no recognition for their superb work. Because they often spread the wealth, attention is called to films and performances that would otherwise slip into oblivion.
We have the Oscar awarding the industry’s self-image in snapshot period of time, the GGs awarding the press perception of what impressed them the most, and the large, well-established critics groups who try an recognize important work. Smaller groups simply enhance their efforts.
@OCO 300 yeah that happened where I live too, you know my cousin’s best friend’s brother told my cousin who told his sister who told my cousin who told me that when (brother) went to the movie theater to see Harry Potter 7.2 he saw a few kids dressed in Harry Potter costumes were beating up someone who was wearing a dinosaur costume who went to see Tree of Life……I could get dragon but dinosaur? Kinda reminds me of time when my dad told me when he went to see Star Wars, a few kids dressed as Luke Skywalker were beating up a bully dressed as Dark Vader who was picking on a kid were a Yoda outfit.
I wonder if that boy or girl was dressed as a dinosaur back in the 90s when Super Mario Bros movie released it would be ugly.
