Boy did this group go early (Dec. 16), so I completely missed their announcement until I checked to see if they had announced yet when they would normally reveal during the very last week of the year. Nothing particularly new here. They voted mostly along current-thought lines. 12 Years a Slave was again the big winner. The only relatively nouveau selection here is The Hunt for Best Foreign Language Film.
