Oscar Isaac has won the 'Best Actor' award at the National Society of Film Critics Awards on Saturday for his portrayal of a struggling musician living in New York in 1961 in the Coen brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis." The film also took out the honors for 'Best Film,' beating out top Oscar contenders like "12 Years A Slave" and "American Hustle," and also earing the Coens a "Best Director" gong. The award buzz surrounding the film is heating up in the lead up to the Oscars.
Top Academy Award contender "12 Years A Slave" had a disappointing result in the NSFC awards, failing to take home any awards despite being nominated in a number of categories. Alfonso Cuaron placed second in the directing category for his work on "Gravity," while Cate Blanchett won the 'Best Actress' award for "Blue Jasmine." The Coen brothers' win acts as redemption for the film which missed out on a nomination at both the Producers Guild of America Awards and the Writers Guild Awards.
The National Society of Film Critics was founded in 1966 and has 56 members who voted in the awards. There is no award ceremony - scrolls are sent out to the winners.
