You aren't wrong..but I checked the recent history on these guys and they definitely have been playing predict the Oscars for a while. Also, the Academy clearly loved the non-PTA aspects of the Master. Most all their picks have won Oscars and/or were what was widely considered to be one off. We've been examining the Best Actor race as Phoenix and Denzel are the zero chancers...this might be incorrect...maybe extremely so...I'd say Day-Lewis is the frontrunner...but I got a glimmer of hope today for an Adrien Brodyish upset

A side note: Day-Lewis already has three awards from London, so they may not have been in a rush to award him again.

Considering Lincoln wasn't among their Best Picture nominees (or even their Top Ten) and The Master was #2 on their Top Ten, so I wouldn't put too much stock in those winners.

"Once again, the selections of the British
critics illustrate the great variation of
extraordinary work in film over the last year.

In all categories, the films are of outstanding
quality this year, indicating how the London
critics view all films from around the world on a
level footing - brilliance is the only benchmark.
Choosing winners will be harder than ever, but
never will they have been more deserving.

Such a perceptive and rigorous set of nominations
ensures we'll have another awards night of
wonderful film talent where respect is afforded
by all parties to make certain artistry and
creativity continue to be valued and rewarded.

The many and varied characters played with such
elan by our Dilys Powell recipient Helena Bonham

and stand as a perfect testament to what the
London Film Critics' Circle hopes to embody with its nominations."
