Anyhoo, the winner for best picture is Little Children and no, it's not the prequel to "Little Woman." It's a movie that was out for a bout a week, starring Kate Winslet about people making sexy time in the suburbs. In fact, from what we read, it was a movie about alienation and angst in suburbia and you never see enough of those kind of movies. Also from that movie, Jackie Earle Haley won for Best Supporting Actor for playing a child molester and we think that's awesome just because he played the immortal Kelly Leak in the Bad News Bears. Could this mean we could be years away from an award going to the guy who played Tanner?
Also of note, the winner of the Best Actor award is Mr. Borat himself, Sacha Baron Cohen. A lot of people seem to think he's Best Actor material mainly because he never dropped out of his character at any point in the movie. Plus, people who go out of their way to do sacrifice something for the movie-- play ugly, gain weight,etc.-- always seem to get award nominations and we can't think of anyone who sacrificed more for any movie considering he wrestled naked with that big, fat hairy dude. Talk about going all out for the movie.
Here's the other winners
Best Director- Paul Greengrass, Flight 93 (we heard this was good but we think even a Holocaust movie would have been more fun).
Best Actress- Helen Mirren, The Queen (because all old English actresses with a background in Shakespeare have to win awards-- it's in the Film Critics rulebook)
Best Original Screenplay- Rian Johnson, Brick (didn't it start the dude from "Third Rock From The Sun"? It did!)
Best Adapted Screenplay- Director Todd Field and Tom Perrotta, Little Children
Best Supporting Actress- Adriana Barraza, Babel
