Not a lot of love for Les Miserables from Detroit; instead, Silver Linings Playbook leads with six nominations, and Take This Waltz proves itself to be a stronger contender than many had expected. The Perks of Being a Wallflower has been performing very well recently too, and it's sure to appear on prediction lists from here on out. Good news for The Impossible, another little disappointment for Lincoln, and Denzel Washington can't catch a break with the critics' groups this year! Winners will blow up the internet big style on Friday.
