SAN DIEGO CRITICS NAME MAD MAX: FURY ROAD THE BEST FILM OF 2015

The nominations for the San Diego Film Critics Society's 2015 awards weren't exactly met with much enthusiasm in some parts, so it's nice to see these critics redeem themselves with their winners. Mad Max: Fury Road and Room are big hits with the society, and Anomalisa puts in a good performance too, including a Supporting Actor win for voice actor Tom Noonan. Oh, and ftr, my deduction is that, indeed, they did post their nominees in ranked order so yeh, lol. You can peruse the SDFCS's nominations here, and their winners on this very post:
