The NSFC went with Lady Bird for Best Picture, although it ended up beating Get Out by just two votes, and Gerwig won director over Jordan Peele by just one, so this is a real race. I already said I thought Get Out could win the Oscar, but I should say that Lady Bird is right there too. Both are the consensus choices this year that have turned up everywhere they needed to with the guilds and appear strong in the industry. The National Society of Film Critics is the last of the four major critics groups- The New York Film Critics chose Lady Bird as well, while L.A. went with Call Me By Your Name and the National Board of Review chose The Post. But Lady Bird is certainly looking good so far.
