It's still early in award season and so far there is no clear front runner.  But The New York Film Critics Circle has given Carol a nice bump.  Directed by Todd Haynes and staring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara the lesbian love story has been slowly percolating toward the top but now it has vaulted to the big leagues.  Winning Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Film it pretty much swept the major categories.  The one surprising omision was Best Actress which could go to either Blanchett or Mara and it's possible they split the vote letting Saoirse Ronan take the prize for Brooklyn.  The biggest surprise win was probably Kristen Stewart for Best Supporting Actress for Clouds of Sils Maria.  A movie that actually premiered at Cannes in 2014.  

Full list is below.  Let us know what your thoughts are.
