Only two categories in which the eventual winner has varied from the apparent winner based on the nominations, with Original Screenplay and Documentary being the only categories in which this has happened, which convinces me (for the second year running) that their nominations are unwittingly announced in order of placement. Another smaller critics group chooses Argo, and winners are pretty conventional all over.
