"Les Miserables" Tops Phoenix Film Critics Awards Noms

The Phoenix Film Critics Society recently announced the nominations for their 2012 awards. Les Misérables leads with 12 nominations.  I don't plan on seeing this movie, but I could, although I have little interest to.  What? Did they not see Django Unchained? The society will announce the winners on Tuesday, December 18, 2012.
