Even though it's a damn good movie, I'm not sure I agree with any of the American Hustle wins... otherwise (of the stuff I've seen), I'm not mad at any of the other choices...

>New York Film Critics Circle Awards: ‘American Hustle’ Best Film; Robert Redford, Cate Blanchett Top Actor Honors
By THE DEADLINE TEAM | Tuesday December 3, 2013 @ 12:10pm PST
UPDATED WITH ALL WINNERS: The New York Film Critics Circle has voted David O Russell’s ensemble crime drama American Hustle as its film of the year, one of three awards bestowed today on the Sony/Columbia film by the critics group. The pic is set for a December 13 release. The NYFCC also picked Robert Redford as Best Actor for his stand-alone role in JC Chandor’s All Is Lost and Cate Blanchett as Best Actress for Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine, while Steve McQueen was named Best Director for 12 Years A Slave.
American Hustle, which stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jeremey Renner and Jennifer Lawrence, also won for Lawrence as Supporting Actress and for Russell and Eric Singer’s screenplay. Last year, the NYFCC tapped Zero Dark Thirty for Best Film and helmer Kathryn Bigelow for Best Director, starting that pic’s path to a Best Picture Oscar nomination.
The NYFCC is one of the earliest groups to vote on the year’s best performances in film, kicking off a slew of critics organizations whose results can serve as if not Oscar predictors then maybe Oscar leaners. Like last year, this year’s NYFCC vote from its membership of NY critics from daily and weekly newspapers, magazines and online publications comes one day before the National Board of Review makes its picks. Here are the final results of today’s voting:
Best Film American Hustle
Best Actor Robert Redford, All Is Lost
Best Actress Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine
Best Director Steve McQueen, 12 Years A Slave
Best Supporting Actress Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle
Best Foreign Language Film Blue Is The Warmest Color
