The New York Film Critics Circle remains idiosyncratic, taking mainstream Hollywood and blending it with non-English winners. The Jafar Panahi win is likely the result of the recent conviction he was given in absentia. The rest seem pretty standard for this group with a few winners likely to carry over but most not.
