  • Historical/Political Dramas Naturally Capture the Attention of D.C.'S Critics "Zero Dark Thirty" the Big Winner; Kathryn Bigelow Scores Again
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Washington, D.C. Area Film Critics Association Contact: [email protected], Tim Gordon 202-374-3305 On the Web: www.wafca.com December 10, 2012 Historical/Political Dramas Naturally Capture the Attention of D.C.'s Critics "Zero Dark Thirty" the big winner; Kathryn Bigelow scores again Washington, D.C. — This morning, the Washington, D.C. Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA) announced their winners for 2012, honoring a wide sweep of films, from musicals to science fiction. And while only three films garnered more than one award, it was clear that historical/political dramas resonated most with the critics from the nation's capital. "Zero Dark Thirty," the account of U.S. intelligence specialists' and Army special forces' pursuit and elimination of terrorist Osama bin Laden, won Best Film. In 2009, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to ever win the WAFCA prize for Best Director for her Iraq War film, "The Hurt Locker." Just three years later, Bigelow has won the same award again for "Zero Dark Thirty." "In a year full of strong films," said WAFCA President, Tim Gordon, "director Kathryn Bigelow's bold and audacious vision, represented in our Best Picture winner, is the perfect political story for our members in the District of Columbia. This story, told with steely, cold effectiveness, is a worthy entry into WAFCA's Best Picture canon and a cinematic achievement that we are proud to honor." "Zero Dark Thirty" also netted Jessica Chastain her first Best Actress award. Daniel Day-Lewis won Best Actor for his riveting portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln in the year's other outstanding historical drama, "Lincoln." Best Supporting Actor went to Philip Seymour Hoffman for "The Master" and Best Supporting Actress went to Anne Hathaway for "Les Misérables," which also scooped the Best Acting Ensemble.
