It's VERY good for Return of the King. The NYFCC often gives indy or artsy films their award, films like Mulholland Drive, Far From Heaven and Topsy-Turvy, that are more obscure to the general public. Their embracing of a huge blockbuster, one that's guaranteed to have MASSIVE box-office, is a big suprise. ROTK was already favored to win the Best Picture Oscar, but it wasn't expected to get support from the critics groups. This puts it way out front in the race.

I'll take your word for it! 40% just isn't very impressive.
