National Society of Film Critics was founded in 1966 by a group of New York City based film critics who had been denied membership into the New York Film Critics Circle. The NSFC was founded in the NYC apartment of Saturday Review critic Hollis Alpert, who co-founded the organization with The New Yorker writer Pauline Kael. Other influential founding members included then Newsweek movie reviewer, Joe Morgenstern, and Life Magazine film critic, Richard Schickel. The Society was also founded in order to counteract the influence of New York Times critic, Bosley Crowther, who dominated the New York City film critic scene for many years. The original founding film critics, who were overwhelmingly based in New York, called their new group a "national" organization because they wrote for a number of magazines and newspapers with a national circulation.
