It's that time of year when critics and professionals in the film industry begin to scrutinize candidates for their respective awards for best filmmaking achievements. The National Society of Film Critics, New York Film Critics Circle, Los Angeles Film Critics, and you know who, are all getting ready to make their announcements.
Although it's still a little early in the season, The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has already announced films in two categories that are under consideration for the Oscar race, with five films to be selected from each of the following lists:
Documentary Features
After Innocence
The Boys of Baraka
Darwin's Nightmare
The Devil and Daniel Johnston
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
Favela Rising
Mad Hot Ballroom
March of the Penguins (waddle waddle!)
Murderball
Occupation: Dreamland
On Native Soil: The Documentary of the 9/11 Commission Report
Rize
Street Fight
39 Pounds of Love
Unknown White Male
Animated Features
Chicken Little
Gulliver's Travel
Hoodwinked
Howl's Moving Castle
Madagascar
Robots
Steamboy
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride
Valiant
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
There you have it, a long list of docs, but somehow Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man didn't make the grade (a glaring omission), nor did Inside Deep Throat, which comes as no surprise considering its subject matter, however, had it been about that other Deep Throat...
I'm sure lot's of you have seen many of the animated features on that list and no doubt you all have your faves and I bet we'll know what thay are very shortly.
More to come... |

My wardrobe was more subtle than that, even in the 50s and the early 60s! By the early 70s I was living in San Francisco but never lost my impeccable taste, but now I dress like a surfer dude.

Wrong again!
Okay, you win! Click here! |

I did, and liked it. It's really well done and even touching. The acting's good all around - surprisingly good is the actor from "The O.C." But the actress playing Ashley, Amy Adams, is really terrific. It's not an amazing movie that you'll never forget - it stays fairly "small" and doesn't hold that many surprises, but it's a nice, funny movie. Also good to see a film set in the South that doesn't pander or dwell on stereotypes. This one seems true.
Anyway, it comes out Jan. 17.
