Wait, they said they’ll still award a Foreign Film, but no Animated? That’s the second time so far this year that one of the critic awards decided not to award an Animated film in it’s own category. Huh…
I wish there was more love for Shalene Woodley. I was blown away by her performance. Totally un-selfconscious. Absolutely shocking for someone of her age.
Corey…you´re no ghost;) Antoinette…I think you have quite an interesting way of expressing your opinions…Scott, apparently and IMHO, you have developed a fanboy attitude in which every movie that does critically and financially better than the one you like, has to be put down 🙁
Yes, it’s nice to see Moneyball gaining some traction after being neglected by the NBR and a number of other groups…though can’t complain about that too much because Moneyball’s exclusion probably made room for HP. Speaking of, agreed tintin, Potter should be handily winning ensemble.
About halfway through the first long shot (The one VERY similar to the long shot in Moulin Rouge at the VERy beginning, there’s an edit. Just a quick chop. And suddenly you are back a touch in the visual from where you were. It’s somewhere between the outside view of the trainstation and the inside view before the actual view down the middle of the two trains on the concourse… (That was really hard to explain.)
@Mark. I’m not arguing with you about Plummer’s performance. It truly is one for the books. But Albert Brooks conveys an incredible range of emotions in the most tranquil manner possible. Plummer is powerful, but Brooks is simply a knockout in “Drive.”
By the way guys, “The Tree of Life” is a bold masterpiece and if Pitt wins for anything, it should be for that film.
COMPLETELY WRONG FOR ACTRESS! MARILYN IS NOT GOOD! J
Wow what a day, I think my head exploded a few times…too many awards to process it all… So happy for Marty, brad, drive for score…loved it!
Hooray for Scorsese and Margaret! (Hugo and Margaret are, in my mind, the very best pictures of the year).
What am I missing about The Artist? Entertaining, yes. But it’s so light.
The Boston critics are my local critics The Artist has not opened here. IM lucky enough to have seen it twice. It is the best picture of the year.
Best Animated Film – Rango
Shocked about what?
I’m shocked. Shocked I say!
🙂 They’re usually a little weird no? This is so expected. lol
Wait, they said they’ll still award a Foreign Film, but no Animated? That’s the second time so far this year that one of the critic awards decided not to award an Animated film in it’s own category. Huh…
So I guess there’s no Foreign Film or Animated Film awarded?
Best Picture: THE ARTIST! (close seconds: HUGO and MARGARET)
nuf said
The Artist Best Picture!
Best Picture: The Artist
Project Nim named Best Documentary
I guess Best Animated Feature is The Adventures of Tintin
@Mattoc – HA! I can picture it. They are probably trying to keep track of what the other groups are doing.
Best Documentary: Project Nim!
I think they’re still watching all the films, and furiously running around trying to find the ending to MMMM.
Are all three groups having a simultaneous toilet break?
Heath87, there’s still three more categories to go before we get to Best Picture. Foreign Film, Documentary, and Animated Feature.
It will be Hugo or The Artist
Good for Scorsese, though I really hope this “Hugo only has one good act” criticism I’ve been hearing elsewhere isn’t true.
I wish there was more love for Shalene Woodley. I was blown away by her performance. Totally un-selfconscious. Absolutely shocking for someone of her age.
So Best Picture goes to…?
Yes! Go Scorsese! Go Hugo! Go defense!
Best Director: Martin Scorcese for HUGO
um no Alexandra…I simply express my honest opinions.
Wow, finally some love for “Carnage”. It was about time.
Corey…you´re no ghost;) Antoinette…I think you have quite an interesting way of expressing your opinions…Scott, apparently and IMHO, you have developed a fanboy attitude in which every movie that does critically and financially better than the one you like, has to be put down 🙁

Ryan,
About halfway through the first long shot (The one VERY similar to the long shot in Moulin Rouge at the VERy beginning, there’s an edit. Just a quick chop.

Okay. So close second: Margaret for every award, BSFC. Gotcha.
Another happy moment for Scott.
Spoke too soon- good for Moneyball
They aren’t a speedy bunch.
Btw, ‘Moneyball’ wins Best Screenplay!!
Carnage? jaja, so stupid…The help and Potter are more deserving.
When is Boston gonna get moving again? The other awards are pretty much caught up by now.
Are we going to start this all over again?? I must admit, it is quite entertaining esp when the Boston people are working sooooo sloooowly…
@Mark. I’m not arguing with you about Plummer’s performance. It truly is one for the books. But Albert Brooks conveys an incredible range of emotions in the most tranquil manner possible. Plummer is powerful, but Brooks is simply a knockout in “Drive.”

I disagree with Mark. The Tree of Life was not pretentious and Albert Brooks was better than Christopher Plummer this year.
