Let's start out with L.A. Film Critics. WALL-E didn't win best animation (that was taken by Waltz With Bashir), but it took best picture in a strange turn of events. The runner up was The Dark Knight. The best actor award was given to Sean Penn for Milk and Heath Ledger was given the supporting actor award. Sally Hawkins unexpectedly took home the award for best actress in Happy Go Lucky and Penelope Cruz won best supporting actress for Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Danny Boyle won for best director in Slumdog Millionaire.
Meanwhile, at N.Y. Critics Circle-WALL-E did not win for best picture, but for best animated picture. Milk took home that award along with one for Sean Penn and one for Josh Brolin. Happy Go Lucky took home two unexpected awards, best actress, and best director. Penelope Cruz won for supporting actress.
What does this mean for the Oscars? Well, this means that Australia, which was though to be nominated, has no shot at all. Penelope Cruz and Sean Penn will win awards without a doubt. Hmmm, without a Doubt? Yeah, Doubt is not going to get anything. Sally Hawkins may just win best actress! [insert clever Britishism here]. It's a toss up for best director. Does WALL-E have a shot? Well, we'll just see.
Golden Globe nominations tomorrow!
