Children of Men by Alfonso CuaronThe Central Ohio Film Critics Association may not be the most influential group of critics in the United States, but they did make several interesting choices this past Jan. 11.

For instance, I’m quite sure they’re the only U.S.-based critics’ group that picked Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men as best film of 2006, even though the dystopic drama has been getting mostly raves from American critics.

Other unusual choices were Leonardo DiCaprio as best actor for The Departed and Clive Owen as Actor of the Year for his performances in both Children of Men and the silly heist thriller Inside Man, which was greeted with positive reviews upon its spring release — only to be completely ignored by year-end award-giving groups.
