Best Film That Has Yet to Open in Iowa

Amour

On the day that it both rakes in the most BAFTA nominations and misses Director with the same group, Lincoln picks up its third Best Picture win from the critics' groups, and Spielberg picks up his second Director win. It has been coming on quite strong of late. Pretty standard choices all around. The Iowa critics usually announce late, and don't vote for a lot of awards.
