		<description><![CDATA[The two top nominees for the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television&#8217;s 2008 Genie Awards are heavy dramas: David Cronenberg&#8217;s Russian mafia thriller Eastern Promises and Roger Spottiswoode&#8217;s Rwanda genocide tale Shake Hands With the Devil, each with 12 nominations. 
They were followed by Away from Her with seven nods; The Tracey Fragments with six; Continental, a Film Without Guns and Silk, both with five; and Days of Darkness with four. 
The violent Eastern Promises, which is up for the best British film BAFTA (it&#8217;s a co-production), stars American Viggo Mortensen and Australian Naomi Watts as two disparate people &#8212; he a Russian hitman; she a midwife &#8212; whose paths are crossed following the death of a pregnant 14-year-old girl.

Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood
George Clooney (for Michael Clayton) might have been the sentimental favorite for he&#8217;s a local Hollywood-ite, while Daniel Day-Lewis (above, with Paul Dano), who plays a ruthless oil baron in There Will Be Blood, is an Englishman living in Ireland. Clooney, however, won an Oscar (for Syriana) a mere two years ago, while Day-Lewis&#8217; SAG win has solidified his position as this year&#8217;s front-runner.
&#160;

Best Actress: Julie Christie, Away from Her
Until the SAG Awards, it was a three-lane race: veteran Julie Christie for Away from Her, Marion Cotillard for La Vie en Rose, and Ellen Page for Juno &#8212; by far the biggest box-office hit among the films nominated in the best actress category. [...]]]></description>

Josh Brolin in No Country for Old Men

Alex Ben Block at Hollywood Today:
&#34;Even if the writer&#8217;s strike is over on Feb. 24 when Oscars are handed out, the appeal of this year&#8217;s nominees, led by No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood and Michael Clayton, will be limited. The 80th Academy Award nominations are not just art house movies, but most of the leading contenders are so dark, violent, slowly paced and often purposely confusing or obscure that it will put mainstream audiences off the awards this year.&#34;

Among the predictable winners were Julie Christie as best actress in a drama for her performance as a woman suffering from Alzheimer&#8217;s disease in Sarah Polley&#8217;s Away from Her (right, with Gordon Pinsent); Daniel Day-Lewis as best actor in a drama for his star turn as a greedy oil baron in Paul Thomas Anderson&#8217;s widely praised There Will Be Blood; and Johnny Depp as best actor in a comedy or musical for his singing serial-killing barber in Sweeney Todd. (Depp was the only American actor to win in the feature-film categories.)
Also, Brad Bird&#8217;s Ratatouille, the story of a French rat with gourmet inclinations, as best animated film; and best supporting actor Javier Bardem for his [...]]]></description>

Omar Sharif as Dr. Zhivago, Julie Christie as Lara in David Lean&#8217;s Doctor Zhivago (top); Julie Christie as a woman suffering from Alzheimer&#8217;s and Gordon Pinsent as her husband in Sarah Polley&#8217;s Away from Her (bottom).
&#160;
Ella Taylor on Julie Christie in the LA Weekly:
&#34;Spend half an hour with Christie, and you&#8217;ll experience her ambivalence about Hollywood and almost everything else. Plainly shy and gun-shy, the actress hates being interviewed as much as she hates speaking in public. But as luck would have it, we had met two weeks earlier at a panel discussion about Away From Her, with Christie, her genial co-star Gordon Pinsent and a preternaturally confident [Sarah] Polley. Only Christie looked as though she was expecting to be [...]]]></description>

Via indieWIRE &#8212; &#34;The Critics Speak: Best, Worst, the Auteurs and the Underrated.&#34; Below are a couple of sample quotes: 
&#34;More people in our world will see Juno than 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. More will see 300 than Offside. More will see Saw IV than There Will Be Blood [above]. Yet we fight on, championing those films that really mean something to us. I find this rage against an always dying light both disconcerting and empowering, and I am thankful for filmmakers like Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Paul Thomas Anderson, Jafar Panahi, Sarah Polley, Pedro Costa, Tsai Ming-liang, the Coens, Todd Haynes, and all of the others who consistently reminded me of why I do what I do and [...]]]></description>

In Time, Richard Corliss on the New York Film Critics&#8216; picks: 
 &#34;I sprinted down the corridors of TIME this afternoon, eager to spread the news of the New York Film Critics Circle voting for the year&#8217;s best films. The winner, in the film, director, screenplay and supporting actor categories? The Coen brothers&#8216; No Country for Old Men, which three different people told me they&#8217;d been meaning to see. The runner-up, with wins for best actor and cinematographer? There Will Be Blood, an audience-punishing epic that doesn&#8217;t open for another two weeks. Best actress? Julie Christie, in Away From Her [above, with Gordon Pinsent], which earned less than $5 million in its North American release.

The best thing about the 2007 National Board of Review (NBR) winners is the presence of veteran Julie Christie (right, with Gordon Pinsent) as best actress for her superb portrayal of a woman suffering from Alzheimer&#8217;s disease in Sarah Polley&#8217;s Away from Her.
Christie, one of the best film actresses of the last half century &#8212; in fact, one of the best film actresses ever &#8212; has received widespread acclaim for her performance, though this is her first Away from Her win so far. (Earlier this year, Christie was nominated for the Vancouver Film Critics&#8216; best actress in a Canadian film award  but lost out to Carrie-Anne Moss in Fido.)
The National Board of Review&#8217;s choice for best actor was not [...]]]></description>
