Dec 29, 2011

Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards 2011


Well The Artist won almost everything here and it most likely happen at the Oscars too which would be exciting. Olsen and The Muppets win makes me happy but however i don't thing The Help had a good screenplay. I wish The Skin i Live In was the entry from Spain but they didn't do it as it is already winning so much.


BEST PICTURE
“The Artist”

Online Film Critics Society Nominations 2011


Now these i must say are some of the most interesting choices i have seen and in a way matches my personal picks even with few snubs. Drive nominated for film and director along with Lars Vin Trier for Melancholia which is great. From Martha Marcy May Marlene, Jon Hawkes and Elizabeth Olsen are nominated, not just that but McCarth and Nolte's addition makes me happy.

Best Picture:
The Artist
The Descendants
Drive
Hugo
The Tree of Life

Utah Film Critics Association Awards 2011


This is what i love when an award group tries to go for the actual winners not following the same line up everyone else is. The gave best picture to Drive which without a doubt is one of the best of the year and also best actor to Joseph Gordon-Levitt who truly deserves it, he gave a brilliant performance that no one is in mood to recognize much.


Below is the full list of winners, courtesy of Film Misery:

London Film Critics Circle Awards 2011 Nominations


So here is the London Critics Circle nominations list which tends to favor British movies for the obvious reasons and some quite well deserved nominees too. Happy for the love they gave to A Separation and Drive. A Separation not only deserves Picture but actors and screenwriting nods too. Carey Muligan's performance from the previews of Shame looks fantastic to me, i have too see the movie.


Below are the full list of nominees:

FILM OF THE YEAR
The Artist
Drive
A Separation
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
The Tree of Life

Women Film Critics Circle Awards 2011


So i didn't even knew Women Critics had a whole circle all by themselves. So all you see here are winners that targets Women in anyways. Movies by woman, for woman, about woman or courage in acting etc. And yes obviously they loved The Help.

Below is the full list of winners:

BEST MOVIE BY A WOMAN
WINNERS: The Iron Lady & We Need To Talk About Kevin (tie)
Pariah
The Whistleblower

Dec 20, 2011

Chicago Film Critics Association Awards 2011


Okay so The Tree Of Life won big time from another Critics circle, this time from Chicago winning Best Picture and Director. So isn't it now obvious that Meryl Streep which everyone from the start thought would win best actress would be loosing it for Michelle Williams? she is winning so much. 


Below is the full list of winners:

Best Picture
The Tree of Life

Best Director
Terrence Malick (The Tree of Life)

Florida Film Critics Circle Awards 2011


The Descendants is enjoying some great love from Critics these days and is winning big which ultimately if going this way would make it close enough to catch The Artist's best picture wins. And it wont be a surprise seeing a Best Director split this year at Oscars because many awards that have been given are showing that sign. And just one list thing to say, Go Shailene Woodley Go.


Full list of winners is listed below:

Best Picture
“The Descendants”

St. Louis Film Critics Association Award Winners 2011


So scroll down below and you would see some of the most interesting and lovable picks for winners and runner ups. The Artist-The Descendants-The Tree of Life continues to battle for Picture/Director categories. Rooney Mara won best actress which is a big surprise and Alan Rickman being a runner up makes me feel go jump.


Full list of winners and runner ups is listed below:

Satellite Awards 2011


Drive won big at the Satellite Awards where it won for Best Director, Actor, Supporting Actor and Sound. I hope this also translates into giving it a big boost for the Oscars because it needs one. Some more interesting choices too.

Below is the full list of winners:

Best Picture: The Descendants

Dec 17, 2011

Dallas Fort-Worth Film Critics Association Awards 2011



Here we see lots of love being shown to The Descendants winning almost everything. Shailene Woodley's performance have been loved by critics all over and i wish to see her getting nominated for Oscar too. Best Actress race looks like its between Williams and Swinton now as well as Supporting Actor one between Plummer and Brooks which was like this from the very start.

Below is the full list of winners and Runner Ups:

Best Picture: The Descendants

Detroit Film Critics Society Awards 2011


So happy to see both the actors of Shame winning Actor and Supporting Actress award, they surely deserve it. The Artist once again got all the way and the other deserving award is obviously Jessica Chastain for Breakthrough Of The Year.

So finally the day arrived when Golden Globe nominations are announced. I personally don't take them seriously, i look forward to Oscars and appreciate all the Critics awards but not Golden Globe. Still i watch the ceremony for the obvious reasons.

The major movie that got a boost here is ofcourse The Ides Of March which got many nominations. Rooney Mara was nominated too that suggests some hope still left for her. No Melissa McCarthy and Shailene Woodley makes me sad to be honest. Some very poor choices in other categories. What do you think?


Below is the full list of Nominees:

Best Motion Picture (Drama)
The Descendants
The Help
Hugo
The Ides of March
Moneyball
War Horse

San Diego Film Critics Society Awards 2011



Well the biggest surprise here is Brit Marling winning best actress for Another Earth beating so many other deserving actresses and also Nick Nolte, well i really liked him in Warrior. Shailene Woodley winning Best Supporting Actress makes me happy as always and also some love for Harry Potter being shown here.

Here is the full list of winners:

Best Film: The Artist
