NY Film Critics pick Milk
It’s not an out-of-left-field choice like LAFCA’s WALL-E pick, but the NYFCC solidifies Milk‘s position as a serious contender in the Best Picture race. It’s also worth noting that Penelope Cruz is sweeping the Supporting Actress awards so far this season. She’s 3 for 3 at with her NBR, LAFCA, and NYFCC wins.
