Comments:  Boosts for Oscar noms for ZDT, CP5, Field and  McConnaughey...even Frankenweenie.

Field and McConnaughey choices are both a bit surprising.  Most everyone thought Anne Hathaway was a shoe in this morning and for Oscar.  Not many had McConnaughey on their radar for the NYFCC.

Pretty happy to see Bernie get some love...

I would have really liked to have seen the NYFCC peeps go with Rust and Bone in the Foreign category...

The Rachel Wiesz choice is a real surprise...maybe gets her into the Oscar conversation as well.

What was no surprise was the DDL choice for Best Actor. Indiewire reports this was DDL's fourth NYFCC Best Actor award.  Mark Harris adds that he also has a Best Supporting Actor nod from NYFCC for A Room with a View/My Beautiful Launderette.

Bigelow's win is a bit of a surprise after the Lincoln log roll looked to be gathering steam.

Overall, big day for Lincoln and ZDT.
