’12 Years a Slave,’ Alfonso Cuarón win Vancouver critics prizes

The Vancouver Film Critics Circle has hopped on the “12 Years a Slave”/Alfonso Cuarón bandwagon, but I’m mostly interested in that Best Actor win for Oscar Isaac. After the guy couldn’t get arrested on the circuit, he’s finally landed a couple of wins, first from the National Society of Film Critics over the weekend and today with the Vancouver crowd. “Inside Llewyn Davis” also won the group’s screenplay prize. Check out the nominees here, the full list of winners below, and remember to keep track of it all via The Circuit.
