Awards 2010: Austin Film Critics Association

We're about to reach the dead center of the awards season, and this is the time where things really start to take their final shape, so I'm looking forward to having more awards that try to break the usual formula. The Austin critics are off to a pretty good start, opting out of giving the top prize to The Social Network in favor of Black Swan. I think it's a great choice, and it definitely reminds us that there's more than just one film in the race. Also, Hailee Steinfeld was awarded in the Best Supporting Actress category, which has been flailing between Melissa Leo, Mila Kunis, and several different performers over the past few months. I think Steinfeld could end up being the winner in that category for her fantastic performance in True Grit. I'd be willing to put good money on that bet.
