National Society of Film Critics: Best Picture, 1966-Present

I am very happy to announce that the National Society of Film Critics (NSFC), of which I have been a member since 1995, is now in its six decade.

Blow-Up, Antonioni’s seminal film (his first one in English) was the first Best Picture winner of the NSFC.
