Now this is what makes me want to be a Film Critic when they actually appreciate the good cinema and award the actual worthy of the awards. Still, Melancholia winning best picture is nothing but a big surprise, something i didn't expected. Dunst won too which really makes me want to see her getting nominated for Oscar too. As for the rest of them, perfect winners. This National Society Of Film Critics has some of the best and most respected Critics so yes they always go for the best.
Below are the winners, the ones with most votes:
BEST PICTURE
*1. Melancholia – 29 (Lars von Trier)
2. The Tree of Life – 28 (Terrence Malick)
3. A Separation – 20 (Asghar Farhadi)
