Awards 2010: Washington D.C. Film Critics Award Winners

The critics of Washington D.C. have spoken, and their choices are actually rather agreeable. There's always some sort of resistance in anticipation of the winners of these awards, but when the winners are announced, it somehow doesn't matter. The critics continue to opt with David Fincher and The Social Network, and this could put them in place to win Best Picture come February. Luckily, people are still in agreement that Colin Firth is deserving of a win. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence took the Best Actress category, and I become a bit more tempted towards watching Winter's Bone again sometime this week. Still, where is the love for Annette Bening? I do hope she doesn't go home empty handed this season.

I'm still not quite ready to embrace The Fighter yet, and my indeed change my tone after I see it in two weeks, but I'm still definitely behind Christian Bale for Best Supporting Actor. The man is well overdue for a nomination, and it would be spectacular if he actually won. It would also be the first time since 2006 that someone has won the award for playing someone other than a psychopathic killer. Inception took hold of the technical awards, as we knew it would. However, a vote of surprising confidence lies in Christopher Nolan's win for Best Original Screenplay. Finally, it looks like I'm going to have to seek out Exit Through the Gift Shop, as it's gaining some momentum in the Documentary race. Ultimately, we're going to have to start reassessing our decisions in terms of winners and nominations pretty soon.
