Hollywoodnews.com: Is "Zero Dark Thirty" going to be this year's "The Social Network," or "The King's Speech?"
Kathryn Bigelow's searing, comprehensive docu-drama detailing the impossible hunt for Osama Bin Laden was named Best Film by the National Board of Review today, days after the New York Film Critics Circle handed the film the same award. (Bigelow, for the record, took Best Director from Both groups, as well.) These are tremendous in the cap of feathers to film That Expects to Compete for Oscar gold as the campaign kicks into high for nominations gear.
But as you likely recall, David Fincher's "The Social Network" also collected most - if not all - of the pre-Oscar critics love ... only to be shut down (For the most part) by Tom Hooper's "The King's Speech" Two Seasons ago.
Could Hooper halt another critical darling if his "Les Miserables" picks up steam. The film was named to the NBR's Top 10 list, along with a bevy of titles we'll list below.
At the moment, though, the frontrunner in the race is shaping Ongoing awards up to be Bigelow's masterful "Zero Dark Thirty." Whether That Works in the film's behalf or not Remains to Be Seen.
