Paul Thomas Anderson's 'The Master' Tops Sight & Sound's Best Of 2012
Source: Playlist
It's December 1st, which means we're just weeks away from 2013, and critics will be compiling their 'Best of 2012' lists over the next few weeks. The Cahiers Du Cinema already got the ball rolling with their selection of the best films of the year, and now another venerated cinema magazine has unveiled their choices.
Decided by a poll of around 100 critics, Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" has topped Sight & Sound's Best Of 2012. American cinema made a particularly strong showing, with Benh Zeitlin's "Beasts Of The Southern Wild" and Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" also making the grade. Leos Carax, Miguel Gomes and David Cronenberg continue to get international love as "Holy Motors," "Tabu" and "Cosmopolis" all find slots here, as they did on the Cahiers Du Cinema list. The lone UK film is "Berberian Sound Studio" which is a nice boost for the little thriller.
Do you like this selection? Check out the full slate below courtesy of Film Detail.
"Sight & Sound" Best Of 2012
1. The Master (Paul Thomas Anderson, USA)
2. Tabu (Miguel Gomes, Portugal/Germany/France)
3. Amour (Michael Haneke, France/Germany/Austria)
4. Holy Motors (Leos Carax, France/Germany)
5. Beasts of the Southern Wild (Benh Zeitlin, USA)
= Berberian Sound Studio (Peter Strickland, UK/Germany)
7. Moonrise Kingdom (Wes Anderson, USA) (review)
8. Beyond the Hills (Christian Mungiu, Romania/France/Belgium)
= Cosmopolis (David Cronenberg, Canada/France/Portugal/Italy)
= Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Turkey/Bosnia & Herzegovina)
= This is Not A Film (Jafar Pahani & Mojtaba Mirtahmaseb, Iran)
Berberian Sound Studio is really overrated, found it lacking in almost every sense.
Once Upon A Time In Anatolia is a masterpiece, but that film was a 2011 release, so I don't really know why it's there. (It also came second in Cannes to The Tree Of Life)
Zero Dark Thirty looks like it will lead Awards season, there seems to be a huge positive response from critics whom have seen it, cannot wait.
I think (not sure) the Sight and Sound list is compiled of movies that came out in 2012 in the UK. It's also a 2012 release here in Portugal that I missed in theatres but need to watch as soon as I can.
National Board of Review Names ZERO DARK THIRTY Best Film of the Year; DJANGO UNCHAINED, LOOPER, and LES MISERABLES Make Top 10

The second major critics organization has announced its Best of 2012 winners, and director Kathryn Bigelow's drama Zero Dark Thirty is once again the victor. The National Board of Review named Zero Dark Thirty the best film of the year, also awarding Kathryn Bigelow with Best Director and Jessica Chastain with Best Actress. Bradley Cooper bested heavyweight Daniel Day-Lewis for the Best Actor trophy for his work in Silver Linings Playbook, while Leonardo DiCaprio and Ann Dowd took home the supporting awards for Django Unchained and Compliance, respectively. Other notable wins include Rian Johnson's Looper script winning Best Original Screenplay (huzzah!) and Les Miserables being named Best Ensemble, with The Perks of Being a Wallflower (huzzah again!) and Argo making the Top 10 list.
It certainly looks like the critics will be rallying around Zero Dark Thirty this year, but as we've seen many times in the past, the critics' pick doesn't always match up with Oscar. Since 2000, only two NBR Best Film winners have gone on to win the Oscar: No Country for Old Men and Slumdog Millionaire. Other past NBR Best Film winners include Hugo, The Social Network, and Up in the Air. Hit the jump for the full list of 2012′s honorees.

2013 Screen Actors Guild Award Nominations Deliver Some Surprises
The 2013 Screen Actors Guild Award nominations were announced this morning and certainly deliver a shake-up to the race as Zero Dark Thirty misses out on an ensemble nomination, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel snags two nominations, Joaquin Phoenix isn't nominated for The Master, Django Unchained doesn't get a single nomination and both Helen Mirren (Hitchcock) and Naomi Watts (The Impossible) were nominated in the Best Actress race over Emmanuelle Riva (Amour).
Supporting nominations for Nicole Kidman (The Paperboy) and Javier Bardem (Skyfall) also add a litle spice to the mix.
As for the absence of Quvenzhané Wallis, Beasts of the Southern Wild was already determined to be ineligible for the SAG Awards because it was not made under the terms of SAG Low Budget Feature Agreement, which mandates the use of professional actors.
Last night on Twitter I was discussing the race with Kris Tapley from HitFix.com and Jeff Sneider from Variety and while Sneider was convinced Zero Dark Thirty was the Oscar front-runner both Tapley and I disagreed, my overall favorite being Lincoln.
But while I thought Zero Dark was at least a player, Tapley was convinced it was largely a race between Lincoln and Les Miserables, a sentiment Pete Hammond at Deadline was saying a week or so ago, and based on these nominations it would appear that's exactly the case with Argo running third and Silver Linings clearly still in the game at fourth.
However, more on the Oscars a little later, for now here are the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Award nominees for Theatrical Motion Pictures and Primetime Television.
You can also check out the nominees on my official page for the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards right here, which will update live when the awards are handed out on January 27 at 8 p.m. (ET)/5 p.m. (PT).

65th DGA Nominations
BEN AFFLECK - Argo
KATHRYN BIGELOW - Zero Dark Thirty
TOM HOOPER - Les Misérables
ANG LEE - Life of Pi
STEVEN SPIELBERG - Lincoln
now its clear to me that The Master is PTA's 2001 :yabbse-thumbup:
Ben Affleck > Paul Thomas Anderson?
My Twitter rant on the subject...
DGA-winning directors: Michel Hazanavicius, Tom Hooper, Rob Marshall, Ron Howard (2x), Kevin Costner, Warren Beatty, Robert Redford, etc.
Directors who never won DGA: Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman, Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch, Orson Welles, Terrence Malick, etc. #perspective
Awards are great & certainly anything that brings attention to the film is a good thing. But they won't affect which films are remembered.
And for the record, PTA has been nominated once so far in his career by the DGA, for "There Will Be Blood."
Basically it's nice when they get it right. When they don't, it doesn't really change anything. The films that stand the test of time, will.
I will probably be repeating this a lot over the next month or two.
i just can't believe how fucking stupid these people are.
not just the DGAs, but he actors.. did JP insult them as well or something? do they know what the fuck acting means??? i'm trying to understand why awards almost always highlight the most mediocre possible contenders.. and this time it comes down to no one saw the master. this has two effects: it's not that no one in the guild has heard of joaquin phoenix's incredible performance which puts their pathetic efforts to shame, no they definitely saw the film, ALL filmmakers and actors saw the master, just no one outside of this hardcore crowd gave a shit. so it will always be in their best interest to promote things that the general public saw, which is interesting cos it also has to be stuff the critics and elite idiots managed to convince the public was great. some stuff doesn't stick, the master was one of them, so like the merciless executives of the howard beale show they have to make their own cold blooded decision.
obviously it doesn't matter in the end because time will reveal the true great ones, and then all these dumb cunts will be singing its praises. why is everything in the world decided by IDIOTS.
I used to believe that the DGA, or any guild for that matter, had a better grasp of merit because it was the professionals in a certain fields awarding excellence to their peers. But after the years that seems to be bullshit. I've never worked in the US, but working in the "industry" in Mexico, knowing actors, writers, producers, directors, it's been an eye opener how terrible most professionals tastes are.
When the film got some love from the National Society of Film Critics recently I thought "Hey maybe this will be a nice boost for major awards this year."
Sadly, I think I was grasping at straws. :yabbse-undecided:
