Critics' Choice Awards

I caught most of the 13th annual Critics' Choice Awards ceremony this week - I know, who? what?

Apparently, the Broadcast Film Critics Association is the largest film critics organization in the US and Canada, and they now have their own awards show. Since it looks as if the writiers strike is not ending any time soon, and these might be the only televised awards for the 2007 season, I thought it deserved a post.


Let me begin with the fact the my girl Angie was robbed. Next, I need to address some of these categories. Best family Film? Best Young Actor? Best Acting Ensemble? Let me know if you’ve seen foreign language films. I will list them for the Globes. Till then, not so much.
