There are only 4 Original Screenplay nominees above instead of 5. You forgot the ensemble category. I also think the Best Actress category should be a checkbox category, so we can pick multiple winners, as Meryl Streep has tied in this category the last 2 times she was nominated (Meryl Streep for Doubt/Anne Hathaway for Rachel Getting Married in 2009; Meryl Streep for Julie and Julia/Sandra Bullock for The Blindside in 2010)….this year it will likely be Meryl and former Doubt co-star Viola Davis for the tie. However, former winner Michelle Williams (who tied in 2006 with Amy Adams) could also share the award with Ms. Streep
VH1′s website won’t load for me right now so I can’t tell. But it didn’t stream last year. I got rid of my cable so I missed the whole thing. Big mistake. Today I put those channels back on and I’m keeping them until the Oscars.
Right now the People’s Choice Red Carpet is on Reelz Channel and streaming and the show starts on CBS in 45 minutes if anyone is interested. I’m going to be tweeting since I doubt we’ll have an article here.
OK, wrong ‘Choice’ thread, but Emma Stone picked up 2 People’s Choices, sweeping actress in a drama (The Help) and comedy (Crazy Stupid Love).

Best Drama Film: The first HOLY EFFIN’ SHIT of the night: Water for Elephants????????
I just checked the Critic’s Choice website and the countdown clock said 22 hours until the show. So by my calculations lol that’s 8PM eastern time. It looks like Reelz channel is going to have their red carpet coverage as well.
OMG Water for Elephants just won a People’s Choice award. XD

At least they made the best choices of what was available…well for the most part. The Adam Sandler win is laughable. What about Gosling paired with Emma for the comedy actor/actress categories? That would have been great.

wow wtf, I just read on a Potter forum that the award show apparently skipped over the major awards, lol. Like they ran out of time for the show or something and so they weren’t actually announced on television…
If there is no one there to accept for a specific award, they usually skip it. And in terms of what was available people were allowed to vote on nominees and the winners as many times as they wanted and there were write-ins. So no one can complain too much about what wins the People’s Choice. The people really do choose.

the critics choice awards nominated Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close because they considered it excellent. And deserved being in the top 10.
SClub88Official, There is only one reason why they didnt nominate your movie. And you know what it is. So stop doing questions with obvious answers. HP is just a summer movie. Not a serious movie.
the critics awards and industry think the same thing.
I hope the Artist and Hugo got all those awards.
Best picture: The Artist
Best director: Martin Scorsese – Hugo
Best actor: Jean Dujardin (George Clooney is the favorite)
Best actress: Michelle Willians
Best supporting actress: Jessica Chastain
Best supporting actor: Christopher Plummer (I’d love that Andy Serkis win although)
Adapted and original screenplay: The Descendants and Midnight in Paris respectively
Best ensemble: The help
technical categories
Hugo will get: best art direction, best editing
The Artist: best costume design, best original score
Rise of planet of apes: best visual effects, best action movie
The iron lady: best make up
The help: Best song
Tree of life: best cinematography
War horse: Best sound

@Didn’t Tree of Life and Midnight in Paris released in the summer? Also ELAIC got a 54% among Top Critics on Rotten Tomatoes, 78% on BFCA or Critics Choice, and 44% on Metacritic.

Yeah – Martha Marcy and Young Adult are missing from the original screenplay choices…not that they have any chance in the world, but still…
boy I woner why Harry Potter 7.2 was nominated for Best Picture
I think Young Adult is missing from the Original Screenplay category…
I predict that my predictions here will be way off…..
To see “Drive” in the “Action”-Category hurts …
I believe you are also missing “Best Score”
Sasha, you missed best original score.
What time the BFCA? Will it be streaming?
Best Score: Hugo
Does anyone know what time the award show will air on VH1 tomorrow?
VH1′s website won’t load for me right now so I can’t tell. But it didn’t stream last year. I got rid of my cable so I missed the whole thing. Big mistake. Today I put those channels back on and I’m keeping them until the Oscars.
Right now the People’s Choice Red Carpet is on Reelz Channel and streaming and the show starts on CBS in 45 minutes if anyone is interested.
I’m going to be tweeting since I doubt we’ll have an article here.

How did Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close get nominated for Best Picture?
@mecid
We’re talking about the Critic’s Choice Awards, not the NBR ones…
what time brodcast starting?
“How did Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close get nominated for Best Picture?”
Yeah, that has me looking a this crowd’s choices with one eyebrow raised.
@steve50 felt the same way when Harry Potter 8 wasn’t nominated for those Best Picture nominations at all those film critic awards.
I’m not an HP fan, but it deserves a spot over ELIC, that’s for sure.
@steve50 yeah
the critics choice awards nominated Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close because they considered it excellent. And deserved being in the top 10.

Also did Harry Potter 8 get a higher score than almost every film this year on BFCA or Critics Choice? a 93%?
I thought Streep would win the BFCA Best Actress award outright this year based on her incredible media attention…
…looks like I was totally wrong about that.
