    Malick and Mills 1, everyone else 0...

    Are we underway now?  If so, we start the 2011 Oscar season with a TIE?!?!?!

    Yep.  A tie.  Between two films that could not be more diametrically opposed to one another.  Mike Mills’ Beginners and Terrence Malick’s The Tree Of Life each get a tally mark for winning a Best Feature/Best Picture prize.

    The Gotham Awards may have a minimal impact on the Academy Awards, but with apologies to the New York Film Critics Circle, they are still first!

    Winners after the cut and stay with Awards Circuit all season long for breaking news, analysis, predictions, and everything else you could possibly need for this and every awards season!

    About Michael Ward


    My love of film began at the age of 7 when my parents not only gave me a television, but HBO to boot. My first theatrical experience was "E.T." My first movie cry came with "Old Yeller". "The Usual Suspects" made me decide to make movies and film writing a priority in life, even knowing the twist beforehand. My passion for film, music, and pop culture in general can be isolated to my youth. My love for film took root in high school. Above all else, movies and art, in any form, exist to entertain and I remain much more interested in how art affects others, more than with myself. But I love the conversation and to have a chance to share my thoughts and be a part of the community here is a unique and enriching experience.
