The most curious thing about indieWIRE&#8217;s 2008 poll of 105 North American film critics is that thus far only six of those critics&#8217; top-ten films have gone on to win awards (film/director/screenplay) from US/Canada critics&#8217; groups. 
WALL-E has been the top choice in the animated feature category and was even voted the best film of 2008 by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, which, spreading the wealth, also gave Waltz with Bashir their best animated feature prize. Happy-Go-Lucky took best director and best screenplay honors from, respectively, the New York and the Los Angeles critics; Still Life was chosen best foreign-language film in Los Angeles; Synecdoche, New York won a couple of best screenplay awards; while Wendy and Lucy was [...]]]></description>

Josh Brolin in Milk

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Josh Brolin (Milk)
  Robert Downey Jr. (Tropic Thunder)
Philip Seymour Hoffman (Doubt)
Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight)
Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire)
