The last of the major critics groups to announce, the National Society of Film Critics, went down fairly expected routes with their selections. Note, I have put “X points” next to each. In years’ past, they have also released the points each victor and runner-up have received. I have not found this information so far. I’ll leave it like this until I get the information, if at all. (EDIT: Now with numbers)
