One of Zero Dark Thirty's biggest supporters of the season, the AWFJ throws their weight behind the year's most high-profile female director, and the year's most well-reviewed film. The acting winners here are the exact same as those from the Online Film Critics Society today, although the AWFJ clearly like 0D30 much more than the OFCS, and have many more awards too. With strong box office numbers and steady attention from critics groups, perhaps Zero Dark Thirty is indeed the Oscar contender we once thought it could be.
Indeed it is.
ReplyDeleteHope ZERO DARK THIRTY continues the momentum.
