Astonishingly, perhaps, this is Lincoln's first win of the season, with the majority of the critics' groups thus far opting for Zero Dark Thirty, Argo, or maybe The Master. The love for Lincoln extends across the field here, as it wins three acting awards. A limited selection, though, from Dallas, as always.

  1. We've come a long way! Ha! The Deep South acknowledging LINCOLN? Who ever heard of such a thing?

    A great film though, one of my own personal favorites of the year and the odds-on choice to win the major Oscars. But only a few critics' win for the top prize.

    1. Only one, oddly. The more I ruminate over Lincoln, the more I like it. I hope Steven Spielberg continues to make films in a similar vein, and gives up the hokier stuff a bit.
