It's still my favorite movie of the year.Hustler wrote:The best foreign film is Summer Hours. A Gem. I´ve seen it at Mar del Plata film festival last year.
Boston Society of Film Critics Awards
Yep. It was shown at the opening night. Unfortunately I missed it because I arrived 2 hours later.Big Magilla wrote:The Spirits are not bound by such earthly matters.Hustler wrote:Could someone explain to me why Jeremy Renner (Male Lead) was nominated last year for this film along with Anthony Mackie (Supporting Male) at the independent Spirit Awards given the fact that its commercial release was this year?
The film was shown at last year's Venice, Toronto, Montreal and Mar del Plata Film Festivals, teh latter of which you may have attended, so it was fair game for their purposes.

No, it was the Post's Lou Lemerick who says since he's forbidden to text this year he will take notes and hotfoot back to the office this year and post the winners and runners-up on his blog.Mister Tee wrote:You're right there was a mole texting them out quicker, including mentioning runners-up -- I believe that was Mike D'Angelo. But NY does post winners on their site as they're determined.rain Bard wrote:I don't think that's official policy of the NYFFC. In past years there has been a mole texting results to the outside world. I wouldn't expect it to happen again this year, as said mole no longer lives in New York as far as I understand.OscarGuy wrote:They seem to be doing what New York does and announce them slowly as they are voted on.

That tie in ensemble is a bit odd. It's like platooning Albert Pujols and Monica Seles.
Random thought about Streep's selection: the Boston critics have been known to go for local favorites, like Mystic River. And Julia Child's PBS show was a WGBH/Boston production.
If things continue this way, we could have supporting Oscar winners largely decreed, but the top-line acting categories very competitive.
