667631, The 2013 Official Comprehensive Film Critics Awards Post Posted by ZooTown74, Tue Dec-03-13 03:22 PM
It's that time of year, so when the awards come in, this will be the place to post 'em up and discuss
Turns out that 2013 has turned out to be a very good year in film (particularly the last 5-6 months or so), which it appears will result in (at least early on) a grab-bag of winners without a real favorite or two to emerge, at least for a minute...

667632, 2013 New York Film Critics Circle Awards Posted by ZooTown74, Tue Dec-03-13 03:24 PM
Even though it's a damn good movie, I'm not sure I agree with any of the American Hustle wins... otherwise (of the stuff I've seen), I'm not mad at any of the other choices...

>New York Film Critics Circle Awards: ‘American Hustle’ Best Film; Robert Redford, Cate Blanchett Top Actor Honors
By THE DEADLINE TEAM | Tuesday December 3, 2013 @ 12:10pm PST
UPDATED WITH ALL WINNERS: The New York Film Critics Circle has voted David O Russell’s ensemble crime drama American Hustle as its film of the year, one of three awards bestowed today on the Sony/Columbia film by the critics group. The pic is set for a December 13 release. The NYFCC also picked Robert Redford as Best Actor for his stand-alone role in JC Chandor’s All Is Lost and Cate Blanchett as Best Actress for Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine, while Steve McQueen was named Best Director for 12 Years A Slave.
American Hustle, which stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jeremey Renner and Jennifer Lawrence, also won for Lawrence as Supporting Actress and for Russell and Eric Singer’s screenplay. Last year, the NYFCC tapped Zero Dark Thirty for Best Film and helmer Kathryn Bigelow for Best Director, starting that pic’s path to a Best Picture Oscar nomination.
The NYFCC is one of the earliest groups to vote on the year’s best performances in film, kicking off a slew of critics organizations whose results can serve as if not Oscar predictors then maybe Oscar leaners. Like last year, this year’s NYFCC vote from its membership of NY critics from daily and weekly newspapers, magazines and online publications comes one day before the National Board of Review makes its picks. Here are the final results of today’s voting:
Best Film American Hustle
Best Actor Robert Redford, All Is Lost
Best Actress Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine
Best Director Steve McQueen, 12 Years A Slave
Best Supporting Actress Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle
Best Foreign Language Film Blue Is The Warmest Color
Best Supporting Actor Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club
Best Animated Film The Wind Rises
Best Screenplay American Hustle
Special Award Frederick Wiseman
Best Cinematography Bruno Delbonnel, Inside Llewyn Davis
Best First Film Fruitvale Station
Best Non-fiction Film (Documentary) Stories We Tell

>2013 Gotham Awards: ‘Inside Llewyn Davis,’ ‘Fruitvale Station,’ ‘Short Term 12,’ ‘Dallas Buyers Club’; Lee Daniels Talks Racism: “I Became Very Angry At White People”
By JEN YAMATO | Monday December 2, 2013 @ 7:10pm PST
The Coen brothers‘ Inside Llewyn Davis won Best Feature tonight at the fourth annual IFP Gotham Independent Film Awards but lost some of the spotlight to presenter Lee Daniels, who made some eyebrow-raising remarks. Kicking off awards season in NYC, the trophy show propelled the CBS period folk music drama and Fruitvale Station, Dallas Buyers Club, and docu The Act of Killing toward the Oscars. The raucous audience at Cipriani Wall Street chattered so loudly during Daniels’ tribute speech his The Butler star Forest Whitaker that he tried to shush them with a few f-bombs. Gotham Awards 2013“Forest would like to hear all you talking through my speech, so shut the f*ck up,” admonished Daniels. He wasn’t the only presenter to complain onstage about the Gothams crowd, as Julie Delpy threatened to set herself on fire to get their attention while presenting another tribute, to Before Midnight helmer Richard Linklater.
Big wins went to Fruitvale Station, which nabbed Best Breakthrough Director and Actor for Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, respectively. Dallas Buyers Club star and Oscar hopeful Matthew McConaughey won the Gothams’ inaugural Best Actor award and accepted via iPhone through co-star Jared Leto with his signature “All right, all right, all right.” Short Term 12‘s Brie Larson nabbed Best Actress honors, boosting the SXSW winner’s awards profile. Presenting Best Documentary, Morgan Spurlock took a shot at public television (“PBS: We pay more money than IFC”) before presenting the Gotham to Joshua Oppenheimer’s Oscar hopeful The Act of Killing.
Host Nick Kroll (Kroll Show, The League) struggled with the ambivalent room early on with a roast of the indie scene: “To the people from L.A. or abroad, I hope you’re enjoying your tiny hotel room you had to pay for out of pocket because Magnolia or IFC wouldn’t pony up.” Riffing on the night’s nominees, he quipped, “A common theme in this year’s movies are the horrors we inflict upon one another – slavery, war, folk music… .” Unfortunately for Kroll, he was upstaged by New York Mayor Bloomberg. “Independent filmmakers and New York have a lot in common… We both want Harvey Weinstein to be nice to us.” Boosting local filmmaking versus runaway production to neighboring Canada while presenting the tribute to his Media and Entertainment Commissioner Katherine Oliver, Bloomberg joked, “For the record: the mayor of Toronto and the mayor of New York do not have a lot in common.”
Elsewhere during the night, Steve Buscemi paid tribute to the late James Gandolfini, whom he directed on The Sopranos and later acted alongside when he joined the cast. Buscemi and Gandolfini also co-starred in Romance & Cigarettes and the recent The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. “I did not know the meaning of intimidated until those first few takes, and I felt as a director obligated to say something. … Jimmy was very gracious and patient with me. Tony Soprano did not come easy to him. He couldn’t just turn it on and off, but when he got there it was incredible.”
During his tribute to Linklater, Hawke said: “As a director he’s singular. Many directors will give you the opportunity to share his vision but Rick asks you to have vision.” Said Delpy: “I think you got the best of me. I could die right now because you got the best. I want to thank you from the bottom of my big fat French heart,” she added.
“The truth is, none of us are doing it alone,” said Linklater as he accepted tribute honors by thanking his past and present collaborators — and Buscemi, for letting him crash on his couch years ago.
After telling the Gothams crowd to STFU, Daniels shared high praise for friend and collaborator Whitaker. “When I did research for The Butler I became very angry at white people. That shit ain’t funny because it’s not funny what happened. … The lesson I learned when I did The Butler was that Forest told me to keep my anger in, to not be a stereotypical angry black man. Because if I were angry and I saw racism, then it became real. I had to step above it and pretend it wasn’t there. How do you tell your 17-year-old son that you can’t go into a 7-Eleven because you’re African-American and a dude? But Forest helped me through that. He taught me a lot.”
Said Whitaker of his craft: “I’m just trying to remove the veil in front of my eyes … to discover. … The truth is not finite, it’s an infinite thing. Then I surrender to the fact that even if I live on some foundation of truth, that I think I’m discovering something. It continues to expand. Physicists talk about the universe is expanding… I’m going to continue to place my attention with you in unveiling the complexity of the human experience, the human soul.”

>Spike Jonze and 'Her' Win National Board of Review Top Awards
The National Board of Review have announced the winners of the 2013 awards. Spike Jonze's "Her," the story of a man (Joaquin Phoenix) who falls in love with the voice of his computer's operating system, has been named Best Film of 2013, with Jonze winning Best Director.
"Spike Jonze is one of the most talented and visionary filmmakers working today," said Annie Schulhof, NBR President. "In Her, he explores the age-old themes of love and human connection in a completely fresh and innovative way. It is an outstanding achievement that is sure to become a new classic."
The news comes a day after The New York Film Critics Circle named David O. Russell's "American Hustle" the best film of 2013. Once again, "12 Years a Slave," "Gravity" and "Inside Llewyn Davis" were largely shut out of the top awards (although "Gravity" won the Creative Innovation in Filmmaking Award" and the Coen Brothers won Best Original Screenplay). Interestingly, "American Hustle" and its star-studded cast didn't get any recognition from the NBR, which didn't even include the film in its top films of the year.
Hayao Miyazaki's "The Wind Rises," which also won the NYFCC, was named Best Animated Feature and Sarah Polley's "Stories We Tell," was both the NYFCC and NBR's pick for Best Documentary. 77-year-old, Bruce Dern, star of Alexander Payne's "Nebraska," won for Best Actor, while his co-star Will Forte was named Best Supporting Actor. Emma Thompson won for Best Actress for her role in "Saving Mr. Banks," while Octavia Spencer was recognized for her supporting role in "Fruitvale Station." That film's director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan received awards for Best Directorial Debut and Breakthrough Performance, respectively. Adele Exarchopolous also received the Breakthrough Performance award for "Blue is the Warmest Color," although the Best Foreign Film award went to Asghar Farhadi's "The Past."
