critics choice

Last night was the Critic’s Choice Awards and let me tell you I am OBSESSED with award shows, well movie awards that is. So I have a lot to say about them and many of you probably don’t care, so go read My Antonia instead.
_ Picture: "No Country for Old Men"
*I knew this was coming, however I was hoping that Atonement would still pull though. I am still surprised that “No Country for Old Men,” has done so well at the awards. I thought the ending (not that I have seen the movie) would have ruined it.
_ Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, "There Will Be Blood"
*For some reason I thought Clooney was going to get the award, maybe because he was the only one that showed up. I was hoping Emile Hirsch would snag it for “Into the Wild,” he is brilliant and the movie is pretty neat as well. I suggest you all see it.
_ Actress: Julie Christie, "Away From Her"
-ARE YOU KIDDING!?! This award had Ellen Page written all over it.
_ Supporting actor: Javier Bardem, "No Country for Old Men"
-Once again I am in desperate need to see NCFOM. However I was rooting for my man Seymour.
_ Supporting actress: Amy Ryan, "Gone Baby Gone"
-I knew this was coming; there is so much hype around her. Yet another movie I am in desperate need to see.
_ Acting ensemble: "Hairspray"
-I predicted right on this one. As corny as the movie sounds, it is quite good. The cast is full of energy and all of them are extremely talented. This award was well deserved.
_ Director: Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, "No Country for Old Men"
-Once again I wanted Joe Wright for Atonement, but knew Coen would walk away with the award
_ Writer: Diablo Cody, "Juno"
Obvious
_ Animated feature: "Ratatouille"
Obvious
_ Young actor: Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada, "The Kite Runner"
Hell ya Kite Runner!
_ Young actress: Nikki Blonsky, "Hairspray"
-I was torn between Nikki and Saoirse Ronan (Atonement). However I realized Nikki was in the entire movie, where as Saoirse only appears in the first half. Nikki also had to sing and dance...so ya sometimes you just cant beat a musical.
_ Comedy movie: "Juno"
DUH! JUNO OWNS SUPERBAD
_ Family film (live action): "Enchanted"
-As much as I do love Enchanted, Hairspray should have won.
_ Picture made for television: "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee"
Sure...
_ Foreign language film: "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"
-A given
_ Song: "Falling Slowly," Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, "Once"
Enchanted was robbed! Who doesn’t enjoy a good song sung by a princess in New York, with Jamaican drummers and basically the entire population of NYC following her.
_ Composer: Jonny Greenwood, "There Will Be Blood"
-should have been enchanted...
_ Documentary feature: "Sicko"
Agreed
