Film Critics Awards 2013 (Winners in 1st post - I'm bored...)

[Ezen Baklattan]

These awards are making me feel more ashamed that I missed Short Term 12 in its brief engagement here. 

[stripe]

What a year. Seriously, aside of very few things everything could be snubbed or could surprise. Philomena and Butler arent getting any love, capt phillips is slowly recovering, neither wows or ah are getting enough love...Very surprised with the scarlett consistency

Tapley makes a good case for why the regional critics (or "uncultured swine" as riczhang would describe them) matter a lot

With all of these announcements, by the way, comes our brand spanking new edition of The Circuit, where you can track all of these crazy ups and downs and twists and turns on the way to Oscar. It will be linked in the right sidebar all season long, a time capsule for the 2013-2014 film awards season. And it's on that note that I'd have to disagree slightly with my colleague Greg Ellwood, who noted that it was "not the best week" for "12 Years a Slave" in his Contender Countdown piece last night. I think more and more the prestigious critics groups like LAFCA and NYFCC have proved that they aren't necessary beyond perhaps shining a bright light on some movie that needs to be seen. But when you look at the regional critics, McQueen's film is clearly dominant.

 

This is important, by the way. I know a lot of people like to scoff and act like covering each of these announcements as they come in is pointless, but in point of fact, it's not. Guess where "Argo" ended up surging last year? With the regional critics. In the collective, you begin to see consensus build, and that's what the Academy vote is all about: consensus. To say nothing of the fact that these are professional film critics whose voice shouldn't be ignored just because they aren't located in a big city. It's all part of the mixture, and while none of it "influences" the race (the NY and LA crowds can do that), all of it informs it.

BEST LIVE ACTION FAMILY FILM

"One Direction: This Is Us"

"Oz, The Great and Powerful"

"Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters"

"The Smurfs 2"

I never thought I'd say this about any award, but Oz, The Great and Powerful needs to win that one.

 

Also, what the hell is Jack and the Giant Slayer doing in Best Visuals Effects? I actually enjoyed the film and consider it underrated, but the effects were undeniably shite. And definitely not better than films like Pacific Rim or IM3.

Why's Get a Horse nominated for best animated film? Do they allow short movies? 

[rukaio101]

Honestly, I'm more distracted by the fact that there's a group called the Whale's Vagina critics.

Frozen keeps losing to the Wind Rises even though the latter has had more rotten reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (also consider that The Wind Rises has had far less reviews so far. Frozen had a %100 rating for a long time earlier). I don't understand how it's winning.

 

Oh well I hope Frozen wins the more prestigious awards (Oscars, Golden Globes, Annies, and maybe even a Grammy 2015)
