Meryl Streep in Julie &#38; Julia (Columbia Pictures) (left); Yolande Moreau in Séraphine (Music Box Films) (right)

Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, George Clooney, Carey Mulligan, Quentin Tarantino,   Abbie Cornish, Inglourious Basterds, and Everlasting Moments were a few of the top contenders for the 2010 National Society of Film Critics Awards, announced earlier today. Both indieWIRE and The Gold Derby&#8217;s Tom O&#8217;Neil have full lists of the NSFC&#8217;s runners-up, with O&#8217;Neil providing detailed information about voting procedures. As he explains, things can get really twisted around when a winner isn&#8217;t decided on the  NSFC voting members&#8217; first ballot. (Out of its 64 members,  46 voted this year.)
Meryl Streep, for instance, was the critics&#8217; initial top choice for best [...]]]></description>

Jeremy Renner in The Hurt Locker (Jonathan Olley / Summit Entertainment)

The Hurt Locker was the National Society of Film Critics&#8217; big winner. The war drama about a bomb squad doing their work in the dangerous streets of an Iraqi city was voted best film of 2009, and earned honors for director  Kathryn Bigelow and actor Jeremy Renner. Most US film critic&#8217; groups have picked The Hurt Locker as the best film of 2009 and Bigelow as best director. Jeremy Renner has also received several citations and is up for a SAG Award.
The NSFC&#8217;s best actress was &#8212; I told you not be surprised &#8212; Cesar winner Yolande Moreau for Séraphine, in which she plays Séraphine de Senlis, a houseworker [...]]]></description>

Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds (François Duhamel / The Weinstein Co.)

The National Society of Film Critics announces its award winners tomorrow, Jan. 3. Admired by those who call their choices daring, reviled by others who call their choices snotty, the NSFC has been around since the mid-60s, when it was formed as a sort of splinter group from the more &#34;mainstream&#34; New York Film Critics. 
It&#8217;s usually hard to predict the NSFC picks because they often go for less commercial films, sometimes even little-known (in the US) foreign productions, e.g., Edward Yang&#8217;s Yi Yi: A One and a Two, the best picture of 2000. Possibilities this year include Kathryn Bigelow&#8217;s The Hurt Locker, Michael Haneke&#8217;s The White Ribbon, Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

An animated film has won the National Society of Film Critics 2009 Awards. No, not WALL-E, but Ari Folman&#8217;s anti-war documentary-ish Waltz with Bashir, about Israel&#8217;s disastrous 1982 invasion of Lebanon. It&#8217;s hard not to believe that current events &#8212; the Gaza conflict  has been going on since late December &#8212; influenced the vote, though war or no war in the Middle East, Waltz with Bashir has been garnering nearly universal praise.
 Waltz with Bashir, which had previously won the Los Angeles Film Critics&#8216; best animated film award (a sort of consolation prize for having lost to WALL-E in the best film category), is Israel&#8217;s entry for the 2009 best foreign-language film Oscar; the film is also one of [...]]]></description>
