That means that the film with the most nominations, Camille Rewinds, and the film with the most love here at Twitch, Holy Motors, both walked away with zero awards.

"Quartet" -- starring Maggie Smith and featuring a "Best Exotic"-like plot involving retired opera singers, expanded from 32 to 163 theaters in its third weekend and managed an excellent $1,149,000 gross -- averaging $7,049.
