Southeastern Film Critics Association Awards - 2006 Winners
by Andre Soares
The Southeastern Film Critics Association — which consists of reviewers from nine U.S. states — made their choices for the best in film in 2006 this past Dec. 17.
There were neither major nor minor surprises: Best Film, The Departed; Best Foreign Film El Laberinto del fauno / Pan’s Labyrinth; Best Actor Forest Whitaker for The Last King of Scotland; Best Actress Helen Mirren for The Queen; and so on.
However, I found it interesting that their pick for the Wyatt Award — for the film that best captures the "spirit of the South" — went to Barbara Kopple and Cecilia Peck’s documentary Shut Up & Sing, about the nasty firestorm that engulfed the country band Dixie Chicks following singer Natalie Maines’s anti-George W. Bush remarks at a London concert.
