According to the people who follow the Oscars, award shows etc. this is a total shock, NYFCC almost always goes for small, arty and stuffy. For a fantasy epic to win, well, it shows just have good ROTK must be.

More than 40 percent of the film critics' choices for best picture have gone on to win the Oscars in the same category.

Don't know if this is good news or bad.

Ok. When FOR was nominated for Best Picture, I predicted (and I know I wasn't alone) that they would wait until ROTK to give PJ his Best Picture Oscar. I might be the only one who thinks that they should also give him a special award for achievement, sorta like they did for Toy Story. Like Toy Story, Rings is ground-breaking cinema.
