2007 London Film Critics Awards: Nominations

The 2007 London Film Critics’ Circle nominations were announced on Dec. 14.
On the positive side, the London critics tend to be more international than their American counterparts. On the negative side, the London critics’ nominations — sub-divided into "best" and "best British" this or other — tend to get somewhat redundant.
The Queen, for instance, was nominated as both Film of the Year and Best British Film, while both Helen Mirren (above) and Judi Dench received double best actress nominations as well, for The Queen and Notes on a Scandal, respectively.

2006 National Society of Film Critics Award Winners

Capote, which follows flamboyant writer Truman Capote while he was working on In Cold Blood, was chosen the best film of 2005 by the National Society of Film Critics. As most elsewhere this year, smaller American films and non-American productions took center stage in the voting.
Among the other winners were best director David Cronenberg for the social critique A History of Violence, which failed to win the best film award by one single vote, after six rounds of voting; best actor Philip Seymour Hoffman (above, with Catherine Keener) for Capote; best actress Reese Witherspoon for playing another real-life character, June Carter, in Walk the Line; and best foreign film Gegen die Wand / Head-On, Fatih Akin’s drama [...]

2005 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award winners: Dec. 10, 2005
 

Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain (top); Daniel Auteuil, Juliette Binoche in Hidden (bottom). Noticeably absent from the L.A. Critics’ list of winners and runner-ups were King Kong, Munich, Match Point, Batman Begins, Paradise Now, The New World, and Memoirs of a Geisha. “We really did end up not going with anything big,” said Henry Sheehan, president of the L.A. Film Critics Association. “There was some support for King Kong for cinematography and production design, but there was almost nothing for Munich, maybe a couple of acting votes, but very scattered.”
