The Departed (2006) by Martin Scorsese, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Vera Farmiga, Mark Wahlberg, Alec BaldwinThe Florida Film Critics Circle chose Martin Scorsese’s moderately entertaining and thoroughly absurd mob drama The Departed as their top film of 2006. Additionally, The Departed was tops in three other categories: Best Director, Best Screenplay (William Monahan), and Best Supporting Actor, Jack Nicholson.

I believe this is Nicholson’s first win among critics’ groups — and that’s quite a surprise, considering that the veteran star’s atrocious caricature of a big, bad, mad mob boss is exactly the sort of "performance" that is widely admired. (Nicholson, in fact, is one of the favorites to win the next Best Supporting Actor Oscar.)
