The ceremony took place at Soho House in West Hollywood, California on 26 January 2013.
The nominees were determined by up to twelve jurors, which comprise writers, directors, actors and producers and people working in distribution and exhibition.
Fifty films were selected to compete as early as May 2012, and by July or August the Jury was assembled to determine the nominees.
