The National Society of Film Critics or NSFC is an American film critic organization. Most of its "national" publications are based in New York or Los Angeles. The organization is renowned for their highbrow tastes, and its annual awards is one of the most prestigious film critics awards in the United States. However, in past years, many of their Best Picture winners are foreign films, and they rarely match with the Academy Awards (they only agreed with the Oscar for four times in the past 40 years). On the other hand, they are also among the most well respected professional film critics groups in North America, and the United States representative in the FIPRESCI (International Federation of Film Critics, comprised of the national organizations of professional film critics and film journalists from around the world. It has members in more than 50 countries worldwide).
