The Broadcast Film Critics Association have announced their winners for 2014. Few surprises came down the pipe. To prove just how predictable this group was, every category in which Peter, Tripp and I agreed on the prediction, that prediction came to fruition. There were no major surprises (no rallied support for Selma, no off-the-wall star whoring selection and no general surprise selections.
Here’s how we did. Of the 28 categories, Wesley correctly predicted 21 and selected 4 runners-up (25 total); Tripp predicted 19 regular selections with 6 runners-up (25 total); Peter got 17 of his first choice predictions correct and selected an additional 8 runners-up (25 total). That’s something of a three-way tie with only the primary predictions determining a winner. That said, there wasn’t a single category where one of us did not correctly predict a winner or a runner-up.
