Best Supporting Actress

Penélope Cruz, Nine
A film director&#8217;s seductive mistress (if she&#8217;s half as tantalizing in the film as she is in the above photo, Cruz deserves not only a nod but the golden statuette itself)

Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air
A professional downsizer&#8217;s trainee

Mo&#8217;Nique, Precious: Based on the Novel &#8216;Push&#8217; by Sapphire
A  pregnant, illiterate teen&#8217;s Mom from Hell

Julianne Moore, A Single Man (with Colin Firth)
A married alcoholic  pining for an English professor &#8212; who just happens to be both gay and suicidal

Emma Thompson, An Education
A school headmistress in 1960s London

Walt Disney’s 3D-animated   flick G-Force topped the North American box office with  $32.1 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The Jerry-Bruckheimer-produced  film follows a squad of smart guinea pigs trying to stop a ruthless villain  from taking over the world. The film grabbed an average of $8,697 per theater  at 3,697 locations.

  
Last  week’s winner, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,  starring Daniel Radcliffe, collected another $30 million in second place, reaching a total gross of $221.8  million after an excellent ten-day run.

Josh Brolin in No Country for Old Men

Much has been said about the absence of a front-runner for this year&#8217;s Academy Awards. Be that as it may, one film is clearly the favorite among the myriad film critics&#8217; groups in the United States.
Directed and written by Joel and Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men  has been chosen the top film of 2007 by nearly all critics&#8217; societies, associations, and circles in the US  and by the Toronto critics. 
What often crosses my mind whenever I look at those award lists is their lack of variety. (That could be the result of the way votes are tabulated; if so, perhaps the rules should be changed.) Generally speaking, the [...]]]></description>

Kevin Spacey, Mena Suvari in American Beauty

Critics and Awards Season: Part I
It&#8217;s too bad that U.S. film critics have such short memories &#8212; see Jack Mathews&#8216; top comment in the previous page &#8212; as Once is the type of small, foreign film that needs year-end critics&#8217; awards so Academy members can a) become aware of its existence b) check it out. Here&#8217;s wondering if voting &#34;compromises,&#34; as mentioned by Mathews in his second comment, ended up leaving Once almost totally shut out of the myriad U.S. critics&#8217; lists.
Both Stephen Witty&#8217;s and Scott Foundas&#8216; articles are well worth a read. I do, however, disagree with Foundas&#8217; statement that the Oscar&#8217;s &#34;golden luster&#34; has been badly tarnished in recent years. After all, [...]]]></description>

2005 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards
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. &#8220;We really did end up not going with anything big,&#8221; said Henry Sheehan, president of the L.A. Film Critics Association. &#8220;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.&#8221;
