National Society of Film Critics End the Critics Portion of Awards Season; Inside Llewyn Davis gets a Boost


After missing out on PGA and WGA love, the final (major) critics group threw their weight behind the Coen's film in a big way. Inside Llewyn Davis won Picture, Director, Actor and Cinematography honors. Not that this will have huge influence on the AMPAS, but it's not a bad laurel to have.

In the other races, Cate Blanchett reigned supreme over Adele Exarchopoulos after sharing the LAFCA win with her last month; though it's good she of all people was Blanchett's fiercest competitor, this award could have really given a boost to Exarchopoulos' campaign; it's becoming likely she will be left out after a brief glimmer of hope after the wave of critics. Usual winner Jared Leto was beaten by Spring Breakers' James Franco, though his Oscar hopes are quite slim; this was the first major award he won (he shared the LAFCA win with Leto).
