Formed in 1966 by Joe Morgenstern, the NSFC has a panel of top film critics from media outlets including The New Yorker, The Village Voice, The Wall Street Journal, The Christian Science Monitor, and NPR. Unlike any other award show, NFSC reveals the results of voting by its members.

Out of the active 60 members, 43 participated in the voting process on Saturday. While 20 members were physically present at the Lincoln Center to cast their votes, nine of them voted through skype and the remaining 14 cast their votes through a proxy. It was the 54th meeting of the voters.
