Best Films of 2008: indieWIRE’s Critics’ Poll
The most curious thing about indieWIRE’s 2008 poll of 105 North American film critics is that thus far only six of those critics’ top-ten films have gone on to win awards (film/director/screenplay) from US/Canada critics’ groups.

Philip Seymour Hoffman should get included for Doubt and Robert Downey Jr. for his politically incorrect actor in Tropic Thunder.
Of the extensive supporting cast in Milk, Josh Brolin is the most likely contender, while Dev Patel, who apparently supports himself in Slumdog Millionaire, should also make the cut thanks to his film’s popularity.
Runners-up: Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon), as much a lead as Frank Langella, is being [...]
