'Zero Dark Thirty' triumphs at New York Film Critics Circle
"Lincoln" won New York Film Critics Circle honors for lead actor Daniel Day-Lewis, supporting actress Sally Field and screenwriter Tony Kusher, but "Zero Dark Thirty" fought back with awards for cinematographer Greig Fraswer, director Kathryn Bigelow and ultimately, the grand prize of top film.
With Rachel Weisz and Matthew McConaughey grabbing the other two acting kudos, no other major scripted awards contender was recognized. Among the films shut out of the NYFCC honors entirely were "Argo," "Les Miserables" and "Silver Linings Playbook."
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
