The New York Film Critics also revealed their choices for this year, and Hurt Locker is already a lock for a Best Picture coming newer nominations, which would mean a serious female director for the win… finally.
Also, more snubs for Carey Mulligan, and mixes for Best Actor. But Supporting are locks.
Winners after the break.

And Jane Lynch has two shows on this list! Glee!!!!! xD
btw, Lainey will be happy.
Also, is everything supposed to be American because it’s the AFI?
Woah. Really? I really liked Hurt Locker, but I’m still surprised at how these awards are starting. We will have to wait for Golden Globe (this Tuesday) and SAG nominations (this Thursday) to find out.
More surprises? In the actor and actress category~~~
What?
Seems like that rumor wasn’t really a rumor.
Variety (hence, also NP.com) is reporting that the adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a go, and that Natalie will be playing Elizabeth Bennet with zombies running around. Maybe it’s like Pride and Prejudice (Keira Knightley version) mixed with Fido.
To be perfectly honest, though… I think I got into reading too late, as I do not appreciate Jane Austen as I should. This is the part when Julz gasps in emotional distress. Yes, there are books that should be read when you’re younger, so they make the perfect impact… like The Diary of Anne Frank.
So I’m so on the fence for this project.
OMG. This is so bizarre. Someone took the time to make these illustrations of Disney’s famous (or not so famous) princes (or even not truly princes). A series which include Aladdin, Eric (from The Little Mermaid), David (from Lilo & Stitch), Hercules, John Smith, Prince Phillip, Tarzan… many more and…
Prince Edward? Omg, it’s James Marsden! LOL
Found these ;P I think most of us know that Hana & Alice was expanded from the Kit Kat Anniversary CMs. xD Some cute moments here and there… if you haven’t seen the film, what are you waiting for?
I think Julz is going to be VERY happy.
The National Board of Review named Up in the Air as the best film of the year. And like the Examiner mentions on its article… is this backlash against Mo’Nique’s refusal to promote the film and piss on her Oscar chances? Woah, that’s like a mafia. LOL
Clint Eastwood was named Best Director for Invictus, but like The Envelope says… Eastwood is a NBR fave. It really IS like a mafia~~~

Well, I certainly don’t keep track with Grammy Awards anymore, so should I be adding the event to my Award Season calendar? Or should I just wait to run into it when it’s airing?
Grammy nominations were announced last night, and I’m glad I’m not the only one wondering why are the Grammy nominations so similar to MTV, the AMA and every other music-related award show? Just take a look at the General Field nominees to see what I’m talking about.

Say what?
I’m really pissed right now.
The Annie Awards (that’s the best animation awards) just announced their nominees, included for Best Animated Feature are, of course:
Yup. That’s it. Say WHAT? Where’s Mary and Max?
You mean to tell me that THE best animated film of the year doesn’t get recognition from its own medium? Yeah, whatever. These are the awards that declared Kung Fu Panda better than WALL-E, so maybe we should be talking about actual technical animation than actual film.
The whole list of nominees is here.
I totally messed up the date on my calendar xD
I thought it was gonna be tomorrow.
Anyway, some surprise, and some not so surprise.
You might have seen a few already~~~
Spirit Awards will be handed out on March 5th, 2010 at 8pm. PST.
