Lincoln probably won't win any critics awards for Best Picture, but it completely doesn't need to. It will do all of its major damage at the guilds, which is all that matters anyway.
Oh yeah, I'm fully expecting it to take all the industry awards. I'm just saying it's a little weird that seemingly every other contender has won one yet Lincoln has blanked so far. Even Life of Pi took Las Vegas. Heck, Safety Not Guaranteed won Indiana Journalists
