"Zero" and "Lincoln" Win Big With First Critics Group Announcement

The first critics group has made its award announcement for the film year 2012.  A nice surprise for Rachel Weisz, and I wonder if she will continue to show up throughout the season.  It seems that Best Actress is really ripe for some surprises given the lack of excitement over the possibility of the too-young Jennifer Lawrence or too-subdued Jessica Chastain taking home the actual prize.
