Second Round of Critics' Awards: Consensus Forming (Kind Of)

The Boston, Los Angeles and New York Online critics all revealed the winners of their awards today. This follows the announcements from the National Board of Review, New York Film Critics Circle and the Gotham Awards.

There's no one film that's dominating the Best Picture prizes in the way that "Boyhood" did last year, but it's worth noting that "Carol" cleaned up with the NYFCC, and "Mad Max" is finding wide support despite being a summer film. If there's anything these critics prizes are telling us, it's that there's a lot of love for a lot of different films. It's still anyone's game to win at this point.

Take a look at the winners from all three groups below.

LA, Boston and New York Online Critics Announce Winners

Good news for former outside looking in Best Actress contender Marion Cotillard! More critics stamped their seal of approval for her performances in "The Immigrant" and "Two Days One Night". With exposure such as this it's hard to imagine her not being named amongst the final 5. If she's nominated by SAG and/or the Globes, she's in.

Take a look below at who else cleaned up with the critics today.

Cate Blanchett Continues Oscar March with 3 More Critics' Prizes! Plus 12 Years A Slave, Her, and Gravity All Build Momentum

The Los Angeles, Boston, and Online New York critics all announced their respective "Bests" list today. Though all they all spread the wealth around a number of nominees, one person in particular was a winner in each of these races, and that would be Blue Jasmine's Cate Blanchett. Her Oscar win is looking very much like a sealed deal now. This would be her second win but her first in Best Actress (she won a Supporting Actress award for her performance in Martin Scorsese's The Aviator).

Her built on its NBR love by winning the LAFCA's Best Picture award, along with Gravity in one of the many ties that took place in their voting period. 12 Years A Slave built some much needed momentum after losing at the Gothams and the NYFCC by picking up the Boston and Online New York Film critics top prizes. This isn't a year like The Artist or The Social Network, where one film dominates the race; there are a lot of top tier contenders which make the races very exciting.
