"Spirit of the South" is a great award. Love it. And I love Shotgun Stories. The most unfairly neglected movie of the year, along with Frozen River and Ballast.
Isn't it a coincidence that San Francisco picked Milk as best picture?…. A movie that is set in San Francisco.
Bias?
YEAH! 4 wins for heath ledger! that made my day :)
Glad to see San Fran finally reward Wally Pfister.
Phoenix and some Women's critics organization also released their Award winners as well. Slumdog won…both I think? It at least won Phoenix, and is looking like the clear favorite. It's still early yet, but I think it'll be the winner at the end.
Ledger won in the two that I mentioned as well as the four in the article, good to see him win a few; but I'm still scared for the GG's and Oscars.
I can honestly see the GG's giving supporting to Downey Jr. Since they love to award comedians or comedic roles at that award show.
Oh, and it's good to see In Bruges showing up often! I've always been a fan of Brandon Gleeson, and glad to see a film he starred in doing well at least in these minor award ceremonies.
@William: Downey won't win, you can write that down.
Well I hope so.
