I know I am in the minority here, but I didn’t care for Wall*e…thought it was beautiful to look at but at the end of the day, I was bored….glad The Dark Knight got some love in more than one category….hope this translates well come Jan 22….
how come it wins Pic and loses Animation?
Go-go-go, Mr. Penn!
The Dark Knight…yes!!!!
I knew it! WALL-E still has a shot after all!
Finally, some love tossed ‘Hunger’s way. There’s hope. But still no actor respect.
I AM ON CLOUD NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY OWN NUMBER 1 FILM OF THE YEAR (pending the late films that I still need to see) is WALL-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I SALUTE YOU LOS ANGELES FILM CRITICS SOCIETY!!!!!!!!!!!
My NGNG about Sally Hawkins was right! And Eddie Marsan (amazing perfomance) as runner-up for Ledger. Cool.
Crazy LA film critics! But loved Wall-E winning. I thought they’d make Revolutionary Road a true contender with their award; instead, they gave the best movie of the year the chance to be that pic.
It’s official: Wall-E has the best chance an animated film has had of getting nominated for Best Picture since “Beauty and the Beast” pulled it off nearly 20 years ago.
Wow. What a great bunch of winner. And some delightful surprises. I’m most excited about Sally Hawkins who gave my favorite performance of the year, but I think the acting prizes were all dead-on.
Are people aware of Mike Leigh’s process when they nominate him for best screenplay year after year?
A.R. Rahman!! Woohoo!
Wall-E for Best Actor!
Sorry. I’m already getting bored and we are only at the beginning of this awards season.
YEY!!! WALL-E!!!!
I don’t know how to get the Actress race now.
Wow! That is fantastic for Wall-E (and TDK). Yay for Bashir and AR Rahman too.
Do we think this is a game-changer for Wall-E?
Wow my NGNG prediction of Wall E getting picture was right. The LA film critics have done a fantastic job. Especially interesting choices for cinematography, art direction and foreign language film.
WOW! It’s all I can say!
WALL-E for best picture!
HAPPY-GO-LUCKY wins best screenplay and best actress (Hawkins)!
And runner-up for MARSAN!
THE DARK KNIGHT is the best picture runner-up!
And SYNECHDOCHE, NY!!!!
WOW!!!
Wow! The sole disappointment is PENELOPE CRUZ for her overrated work!
Also, glad to see Eddie Marsan get some recognition for Happy-Go-Lucky as well. I would love for that movie to get a big oscar push and surprise people.
Ryan said in a previous thread that the LA Film Critics Best Picture winner goes on to get a nomination about 90% time. What are the chances that WALL-E gets a best pic nom now?
Although it would be interesting I cant see both Wall-E and Dark Knight getting Best Pic nominations…one or the other.
And the best actress race is making my head hurt. Everytime I think someone is out then they get pushed back up again. Cant we just nominate them all?
I don’t want to sound like a douche, but I really hope this is the only best picture award Wall-e wins.
Well, this certainly shakes things up a bit. But then again: not really. The LA critics haven’t agreed with the AMPAS pick for best picture since SCHINDLER’S LIST and some of their choices for that category haven’t exactly been Oscar bait: LITTLE DORRIT and BRAZIL for starters. In other words, WALL-E fans shouldn’t get their hopes up…. at least not yet. Nice to see Leo, Davis and Kaufman, even as runners-up.
This is amazing!!!
I love these choices!
My NGNG prediction of Wall-E came true! It’s like a wish!
Looks like Penelope Cruz is getting closer and closer to sewing up that Oscar.
I can’t believe how many right guesses I had — but I am bumming about the Button…
Very happy to see Sally Hawkins recognized. Eddie Marsan’s supporting turn as the enraged, racist and homophobic driving instructor deserves more recognition. Mickey Rourke just missed out on Best Actor. He’s my overall favorite for Best Actor.
Happy by Sally Hawkins, now She deserves a nomination for an Oscar for such acclaimed performance
Holy crap, this seals the deal I think
Benjamin Button
Slumdog
Dark Knight
Milk
Final slot frontrunner: Frost/Nixon, after that The Wrestler, then Doubt, then The Reader, then WALL-E (!!!!!!)
Sally, finally a recognition, for if not the best one of the best performances of the year and deserves to be nominated for an Oscar and should not be ignored by critics
Tim, LAFCA’s winner may not agree with AMPAS’s best pic most of the time, but the winner has a high chance of at least getting the nomination. WALL-E’s win here has to be a sign that AMPAS is strongly considering it for Best Pic, the first animated film since Beauty and the Beast (and personally, I enjoyed it more than the 1991 film).
Anyways, WALL-E + TDK runner-ups in pic and direction + Ledger + Hawkins = awesomeness!
I was epic in my wrongness as always.
Though it wasn’t my favorite movie of the year, I wouldn’t mind seeing WALL-E take best pic and open up a slot for Waltz With Bashir in the Animated category come Oscar time.
This only strengthens The Dark Kinght and WALL-E.
Wall-E? WTF? It was beautiful to look at, but……..???????
Yes thank god Sally is finally being noticed….you know what the missing the BFCA nod =/
Woo-hoo! WAAAAAAALLLLL-EEEEEEE!
Still think it only has a slim chance at a best pic nod though, I’ve got Ben Button, Slumdog, TDK, Revolutionary Road, The Wrestler, Rachel Getting Married, Frost/Nixon, Milk and Gran Torino with better chances. Still great to see my favorite film of the year getting some recognition though.
Googooboo:
Totally agree with you. What I meant to suggest was that its chances of actually winning are not yet that solid. But as a contender for a nomination? absolutely.
it’s simply wonderful that the dark knight is getting the praise that it deserves who in the world would have believed that a batman film would be one of the safest bets for a best picture and director nod
Sorry, there is nothing good about Happy Go Lucky. Mike Leigh doesn’t even write screenplay, he just sets the scene and let’s the actors improvise the dialogue. His directing is the specialty, not the screenplay.
As an actor, there is nothing admirable about either Hawkins or Marsdan’s performances. She was one note the entire film and Marsdan was overacting.
Mike Leigh hits the right notes in Secrets and Lies and Vera Drake, but not for this attempt.
Ajuaa! Finally some freshness!!!
Very good news for The Dark Knight and Happy Go-Lucky
I think the Actress Race is turning crowded
Melissa Leo and Sally Hawkins are in,
Finally some love for Hunger
Disappointed Melissa Leo was only the runner-up. I’d hate it if Sally Hawkins was nominated for an Oscar in place of her.
But maybe they’ll both make it in …
How delightfully perverse this is. No Rev Road, The Reader, Doubt, Frost/Nixon, Rachel Getting Married, Defiance, Gran Torino, and TCCOBB only getting a runner-up placing in score?! Wow.
LAced with awesomeness, mostly.
But forgive me, Father, I’m just not into Happy-Go-Lucky.
I’ll confess when he started stalking her at the end, I thought, “oh! murder/suicide? Now I’m interested.”
Bring on the hate, I can’t help it. This movie was nails on a chalkboard for me.

Picture: “Wall-E”
Animation: “Waltz With Bashir”
????????
Listen, I don’t believe that Wall*E will get a best picture nomination in the long run…there is a reason that the academy added a new ghetto for animated feature – they want to offer what they feel is a token reward for a job well done.
I work in animation, and I know the long hours, the hard work and the large and sometimes thankless crew that toils endlessly for something as beautiful as Wall*E (although I didn’t like it)…but I think at the end of the day, the academy will throw Wall*E a bone in the Animated, Screenplay and some tech categories…not best picture….
You know Mr. Big, I would nominate SPEED RACER as well for Art Direction too.
As for these picks, well it certainly puts WALL-E back into serious play in the race, doesn’t it?
So what if WALL-E wins New York tomorrow?
I am happy for Mickey Rourke…it looks like at least a Oscar nod for him.
Go, go, Pe!!! From Spain, Loving U!!!
Sally Hawkins and Penn are the best choices here. My favorite male perfromance of the year is Mathieu Amalric in A Christmas Tale.
So far the best movie of the year is French: A Christmas Tale. I have not seen everything yet.
WALL-E? How embarassing.
I agree Yvette: I am happy for Mickey Rourke as well…wish he would have won
I’m tired of this overrated hype for Wall-E and TDK. But boy am I happy about Sally Hawkins and Eddie Marsan, they had such great performances. I’m ecstatic that critics are pushing for Melissa Leo! However, the lack of support for “The Fall” in any technical categories is extremely disappointing.
If Wall-E was directed and played by Clint Eastwood, would it be the frontrunner?
Oh, dear. I’m currently watching Spike Lee’s When the Levees Broke (second time), about an event that can seriously be said to have coloured the recent presidential election in the USA, and I just can’t get rid of the feeling that Wall-E is, um, so slight as to be almost non-existent.
Just the perspective, I guess.
I’m sorry but Wall-E is not movie of the year. Top 10, sure.
Glad to see Synecdoche pop up anywhere. Kaufman’s script better not be ignored by the Academy.
Rourke is winning it.
Thanks Mr. Big.
Posted the SLFCA on the main page, but slid it underneath this top story of the day.
“But boy am I happy about Sally Hawkins and Eddie Marsan, they had such great performances.”
One man’s great is another man’s grating.
I know a lot of people who feel the same way about Rachel Getting Married as Ryan does about Happy-Go-Lucky…
Happy for Cruz, Penn. Sad for Winslet
I’m here to echo the voices of dissent regarding Mike Leigh and screenwriting.
I’m not saying that his improvisational approach doesn’t make great movies; obviously it can and sometimes does.
But as was stated above, Leigh’s accomplishments are in directing. Screenwriting is writing; i.e., actually sitting at the keyboard and stringing the whole story together in words. I don’t know much about the making of Happy-Go-Lucky, but what Leigh usually does on his films corresponds much more closely to the “Story by” credit than “Screenplay by” or “Written by.” And there is, quite rightly, no Oscar for “Story by” (any more).
What puzzles me is that the writers in AMPAS regularly crap their pants over Leigh too. Could it be self-loathing? Not among SCREENWRITERS, surely.
Can I just say that I absolutely love this time of year? Oscar season has begun, and I am loving it.
Although I live in the cinematic black hole known as Baton Rouge and haven’t seen many of the nominees, I’m happy to see TDK get taken so seriously. It’s like it justifies my years of running around my backyard in a black cape and mask. Now where did I put those…?
[...] 9, 2008Source: Awards Dailyby Alex [...]
All of the TDK Hatters are gonna flip out come january…
i remember in july most people said it was awesome but it would never get a nom, around october people where saying wow, it might actually get a nom, last week everyone realize that IT IS GOING TO BE NOMINATED…. and by now im pretty fucking sure this movie will take more awards than any other…
is there anyone out there who still believes Ledger is not gonna win?????????
IMO, all this does is secure “Wall-”E” the Best Animated Feature Oscar. Go Sean Penn!
Very interesting results. I don’t think, though, this means that Wall-E will get a BP nomination from the Academy. Remember that when Beauty & the Beast was nominated in 1991, they had no animated film category. Plus 1991 was a notoriously weak year for movies, as exampled by The Prince of Tides making the BP list. (shudders)
The Dark Knight is looking really strong for a BP nod. But if Wall-E were to slip onto the BP list, I think it would be at the expense of The Dark Knight. I just do not see both Wall-E and The Dark Knight making the Oscar BP list. So be careful what you wish for.
Good news for Sally Hawkins, obviously. Still, this in no way locks her in for a best actress slot. How soon we forget Vera F. from a couple years ago. But this does raise Hawkins profile at a time when she was seemingly getting shouldered back into the pack.
Best Actress is going to be deliciously hard to call this year, I think. Right now the only locks in this category are…are…
Hmmm.
Wall*E wins BP but not Best Animated?
Epic fail
Oh and be prepared for Happy-go-lucky getting multiple nominations
Was The Fall even released in theatres? I know it did the festival circuit, but I’ve heard neither hyde nor hair about it otherwise.
I think they didn’t give Wall-E Best Animated because they were trying to spread the love. Also, I’m thinking it won’t be in the BP race ultimately either. remember when Toy Story 2 won the Golden Globe for best comedy/musical? That was even before AMPAS changed the dates of the Oscars to avoid being influenced by the GGs–and it failed to get a nomination. And WALL-E isn’t even the best animated film ever to be released by Pixar. so I think it’ll be stuck in the animated ghetto.
Be prepared otherwise, though–I think we’re in for plenty of shocks when the nominees are announced–both good and bad.
Ratatouille was better, imo.
Someone said Beauty And The Best got in the BP race in 1992 because of a weak year in film, and there is a lot of truth there, but also, Beauty won the Golden Globe, won other awards, was one of the most raved about films of that year in most circles and was the de-facto SECOND best movie that year. The Silence of the Lambs, tho, is (still) quite the indescrutible machine
I have The Fall on Blu, and while a very big eye candy movie, of course brilliantly framed by Tarsem, it didn’t really engage me and the dialoge is a bit weak. Cinematography is wonderful, tho.
I understand the concerns some people expressed about Leigh and screenwriting and how his process might not fit the traditional view of someone sitting at a computer and typing out a story — but then when does it stop? What do we know of what other screenwriters do in order to come up with their scripts? Do they workshop it and we don’t know about it? You can’t very well lay down a bright line rule for a process that is so personal.
Beauty and the Beast got nomination not because of the weak year … who hoo. That animated movie is the groundbreaking in technology wise. The first time animation film used CGI to make it (the picture) more real. Doubt it? let’s compare it to the Little Mermaid which was released a couple year before.
So, I JFGI, and came up with this screenplay for Happy-Go-Lucky:
http://www.miramaxhighlights.com/uploads/HAPPY-GO-LUCKY%5B3%5D.pdf
Ain’t about to read it right NOW, but it should be enlightening.
Yeah, what Dorothy said about Leigh.
Also regarding the head scratching over WALL-E getting BP but not Animated…is LAFCA one of those critics groups that gets together and actually hashes their picks out or do the just vote? If it’s the former, it would make a lot of sense that they wanted to spread the animation love around a little and didn’t want to give BP and Animated to one film. If it’s the latter, then ignore what I just said.
I agree with you Tufas! And people better stop hating on Happy-Go-Lucky
You know they had to love surprising everyone with that choice. Little devils.
Nice choices, though. They usually have great taste.
Just to be clear, my problem with HGL is not a problem with Mike Leigh, or his method. He’s made half a dozen brilliant films.
Just that Happy-Go-Lucky felt like Barney vs. Predator.
Gentle Benj, thanks for the link.
I don’t know what Miramax is trying to pimp as a “script” but that pdf appears to be an after-the-fact transcript or cutting continuity. At first glance it’s word for word, scene for scene. It’s undated and there’s nothing to indicate it’s a “Final Draft.”
If that’s the script then the film is slavishly faithful down to every last (giggle) (chortle) and
“Dingdang-dilly-dilly-dadah, hoo-hoo!”
Looks more like a post-ejaculation smoke.
Waltz must have been ineligible for BP. Seriously, shouldn’t Wall-E have won the best animated category as well or do these categories have to be mutually exclusive.
BAFTA does the same confusing thing with BP and best British picture. Atonement won BP but lost the British picture.
PS. I didn’t read all of the comments, maybe someone has already brought up the same thing.
Off topic but are the forums down today? Or does anyone know why I can’t access them.
You can’t take this widely varied group of awards as being representative of, er, ANYthing, except, well, themselves.
I can’t believe this is the LOS ANGELES Film Critics….Can’t believe they are located in the same town as Hollywood…
One the one hand they want to stick it to AMPAS-Sally Hawkins take note and on the other, they want to be a precursor award, Penn, Cruz, Ledger…
I’d be surprised if “HGL” got ANY nominations at all. Except perhaps the aforementioned barely applicable screenplay…Now, if Mike Leigh SHARED the credits with his hard-working, hard-improvising actors….But he never will….*sigh*
The forums are okay:

YAY – WALL-E
YAY – Sean Penn
YAY – Sally Hawkins
“As an actor, there is nothing admirable about either Hawkins or Marsdan’s performances. She was one note the entire film and Marsdan was overacting.”
Although I liked Marsdan in the film (particular how all of his bluster was a cover), I’m not going to the mat for him. However, I must respectfully disagree in regards to Hawkins. Anyone who thinks her character is just a “happy fascist,” and her performance is as such, needs to watch again the scene where she’s with the kid who admits to her he gets beaten at home. It’s very quiet, and through her facial expression, you see Poppy is a character who does not shut out all the bad in the world, as if she couldn’t be bothered with it, but in fact meets it head on.
‘Tis the season to beat “Wall-E”
I find this Happy-Go-Lucky love gross, but it’s great to see Wall-E up there. Very cool.
Great to see Hawkins and H_G_L entering back in the race.
I still want to see Poppy in I’ve Loved You So Long (re: the EW screwup).
Mashup! please!
More loving for AR Rahman. I think he is emerging as a strong contender in the highly-competitive score category. If he makes the cut for the Golden Globes, methinks he gets the seal of approval from the Academy too.
Also, I think the directorial race is between Danny Boyle, Christopher Nolan and David Frincher. I feel if Nolan makes it then the Dark Knight won’t. Or the other way around.
Even if it was improvised, Happy-Go-Lucky needed a guideline, a place to guide the story. Yes, there’s improvisation, but a screenplay is needed to draw on the characters. Before improvising, Sally Hawkins needed to kn ow who Poppy was, Eddie Marsan needed to know who Scott was, and Mike Leigh needed to map out the story and the characters, so his actors could act like the characters would. Maybe he discovered something new about the story through the improvisation, but nobody improvises without a guideline and without knowing who the charcter is and where the story is going, which is one of the reasons why I’m happy for HGL, anything it can get, the film made me laugh for the first hour, and it carried a punch that left me speechless for the second hour (much like Mike Leigh’s previous films).
I’m also really happy for Wall-E, and Sean Penn (I loved Milk) and the love for The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger and Penelope Cruz are both amazing. I still think Sally Hawkins has a chance of getting an OScar nomination, especially if she wins the Globe (which she might due to lack of competition). It may not happen, but I would love it if she did.
Ewww, it’s a TRANSCRIPT? Disingenuous. *tut tut*
I understand what y’all are saying. Obviously the cast doesn’t improvise from nothing. The story arc and the characters need to be defined beforehand, absolutely. But there’s a word for that work, and it isn’t “writing.” It’s “outlining.” The stuff that writers do before they write.
who won the best editing award? And why would they give Mike Leigh best screenplay, he doesn’t work with scripts..
Let’s say just for the heck of it that:
DARK KNIGHT, MILK and WALL-E get nominated for BP.
IF any of these three win, I will be happy because:
DK will be the first and only superhero/comic book movie ever to be nominated and win the BP, proving that blockbusters or “popcorn” movies can also step outside their comfort zone and become a pop culture phenomenon and critically acclaimed film all at once.
MILK will be the first and only BP winner to deal specifically with gay issues and featuring a gay character as its main focus (Capote and Brokeback could have been…) Plus it mirrors events happening right now within the gay community that have still remained not completely resolved since 30 years ago.
WALL-E will be the first animated film ever to win the BP, thereby taking the animated film art form to its deserved place among movies, live action or otherwise, and it will give the Walt Disney Studios their first ever BP win (they are the only major studio to not have a BP winner yet)
[...] – Winners were announced for the LA Film Critics Awards for 2008. [...]
If HGL went on for a minute longer I swear I would have shot myself in the head. Sally Hawkins brought to life one of the if not THE most annoying character ever put on film. I know I’ve said this in other threads but sorry I gotta keep beating the I hate HGL drum!
Glad to see Richard Jenkins still there.
Wall*E? LAFCA did go for another type of guilt. Yay for my NGNG. Seriously, it was boring in some parts, and I enjoyed Short Circuit a lot more.
SPEED RACER should get a lot of tech nods, and also for costume and art direction.
Isaac Richter,
I understand what you’re saying, and I’m certainly a fan of the movie, but Mike Leigh’s process is collaborative in nearly every step. It’s a stretch to call what he does a screenplay, but it’s more of a stretch to just credit him with the end product.
Wow, I´m happy for Sally Hawkins!!!
But Wall-E a “best picture”..? NO WAY!
