'Avatar' wins Best Picture from New York Film Critics...Online
Is anyone really surprised?
The human side of the "Avatar" equation with Sam Worthington and Sigourney Weaver.
No one is more of a surprise fan of James Cameron's "Avatar" than this prognosticator, but the New York Film Critics Online organization did themselves no favors by voting the film Best Picture today for their year end awards.
