We have great news!
Lars von Trier’s Melancholia had its first big win in critics’ awards leading up to the Oscars, when it was named Best Picture of the Year by the National Society of Film Critics on Saturday.
The film’s Kirsten Dunst was named best actress for her performance in the film.
Until this win, the critics have largely ignored Melancholia, whose rave reviews have been overshadowed by von Trier’s antics at Cannes.
Dunst has largely been overlooked in the best actress race until now.
The society is made up of 58 of the country’s most prominent movie critics. It held its 46th annual awards voting meeting at Sardi’s Restaurant in New York City.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Melancholia, especially Kirsten Dunst!
We hope this means that Melancholia will be nominated for a number of Academy Awards! *keeping fingers crossed*
