There Will Be Critic Awards!


The final major critics award was announced over the weekend with The National Board of Review choosing There Will Be Blood for picture and director and the most usual suspects in the acting categories.

None of the four critics groups picked anything shocking or surprising, making it for kind of bland year. I was hoping for say a Jennifer Garner win in Supporting Actress or a Josh Brolin win in Best Actor, but alas it didn't happen.

Here are the winners:

Best Pic - There Will Be Blood
Best Director - Paul Thomas Anderson
Best Actor - Daniel Day Lewis
Best Actress - Julie Christie
Best Supporting Actor - Casey Affleck
Best Supporting Actress - Cate Blanchett.

No Country for Old Men was the runner up in many categories. Javier Bardem and Amy Ryan were runner ups in the Supporting Categories. Further cementing all thre as the front runners. I am still not digging all this Julie Christie love/lack of Marion Cotillard love. Now we move onto the Golden Globes or simply a press release saying who won the golden globes... more on that later.
