Remember the glee when the NY Film Critics and the National Board of Review made their choices and neither of them matched...well the smoke has cleared and now I fear (the third critics group mention at that) that the age of monotony might settle in, as The Artist tops Washington (just as it did NY), Scorsese wins direction (just as he did at the NBR), Clooney for leading actor (NBR again), and Brooks wins supporting actor (NY), however at least there appears some personality on the part of the ladies as the first end of the year props are given to Michelle Williams and Octavia Spencer, respectively.
