National Board of Review Goes 'Dark' Too!

One more down.  Is Zero Dark Thirty going to sweep all the way to the Oscar for Best Picture.  Kathryn Bigelow becoming the first woman to win two Directing Oscars?  LOL - I believe she would be the first woman to even get a second directing nomination.  Nice surprises here, mostly.  I've been saying (to myself, I'm crazy!) that people should be paying attention to Ann Dowd.  Now, here's proof.  If she picks up the SAG nom next week, she's going to the Dolby Theatre.  These aren't as Warner-centric as they usually are.  Most of the pundits were predicting Argo to take this.
