International Cinephile Society Award Winners

This might be the most inspired set of winners during all of Awards Season. A Serious Man? Firth? SWINTON!? Cornish as Runner Up? Korzeniowski? Capaldi for Runner Up!? The Coens? Penelope Cruz as Runner Up for BROKEN EMBRACES!?

Oh my god...this...this just made me feel so much better: at least one group out there has decent sense when it comes to figuring out the best of the year.
