Latest critics awards

Here is a brief (and rather sour) run-down of the latest critics' award winners:

- The Detroit Society of Film Critics, who nominated Marion earlier this week for Best Actress, went with Ellen Page (Juno).

- Marion was recently named first runner-up to Julie Christie (Away from Her) at the Dallas Fort-Worth Film Critics Association Awards. La Vie en Rose was also first runner-up in the Foreign Language Film category, losing to The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

- La Vie en Rose was first runner-up to The Diving Bell and the Butterfly for Best Foreign Language Film at the Southeastern Film Critics Association Awards.

- The Utah Film Critics Association named Ellen Page the Best Actress, with Amy Adams (Enchanted) as the runner-up.

- The Austin Film Critics Association went with Ellen Page for Best Actress.

- The Alliance of Women Film Journalists named Julie Christie as Best Actress. They seem to really like her, as they Christie about four other awards, including Lifetime Achievement, Bravest Performance, Performance of the Year, and the Actress Defying Age and Ageism award.

- The San Diego Film Critics Society went with Julie Christie for Best Actress.

- The Florida Film Critics Circle Awards gave the Best Actress honor to Ellen Page.

- The St. Louis Gateway Film Critics Association named Ellen Page as their Best Actress, with Marion as first runner-up. La Vie en Rose tied with Once as first runners-up to Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street or Best Music. La Vie en Rose didn't place for Foreign Language Film, which went to The Diving Bell and the Butterfly for the win and The Kite Runner as first runner-up.

Just to further sort myself out...

First Runner-Up (Marion): Dallas Fort-Worth Film Critics Association (Best Actress); St. Louis Gateway Film Critics Association (Best Actress)
First Runner-Up (La Vie en Rose): Dallas Fort-Worth Film Critics Association (Foreign Film); Southeastern Film Critics Association (Foreign Film); St. Louis Gateway Film Critics Association (Best Music - tied with Once)
Nomination, but no placement (Marion): Detroit Society of Film Critics (Best Actress)
Nomination, but no placement (La Vie en Rose): St. Louis Gateway Film Critics Association (Foreign Film)
Single winner, loss: Utah Film Critics Association; Austin Film Critics Association; Alliance of Women Film Journalists; San Diego Film Critics Society; Florida Film Critics Circle

Critics Choice Awards

The Critics Choice Awards (also known as the Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards) will be announcing their honorees this morning at 8:30 a.m. EST. This post will be updated with nominees.


EDIT: MARION GOT A NOMINATION!!

Best Actress
Amy Adams - Enchanted
Cate Blanchett - Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Julie Christie - Away From Her
Marion Cotillard - La Vie en Rose
Angelina Jolie - A Mighty Heart
Ellen Page - Juno

La Vie en Rose also secured a Best Foreign Language Film nomination.

Best Foreign Language Film
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Lust, Caution
La Vie en Rose
4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
The Orphanage

I guess people can stop saying, "Well Cotillard's film isn't being well-received so her chances are hindered..." because several groups have honored La Vie en Rose as being one of the best foreign language films of the year.

Full list of winners here. Note: The site is a little off. They don't have Cotillard listed, but I watched the live broadcast and she is definitely nominated. Plus, they have Julie Christie there for La Vie en Rose, so there must be a format glitch.
