The year came and went presenting some of the best works seen by directors, actors, composers, cinematographers, and other craftsman. This week we’ll be recapping the year presenting my choices in the best in film.

Get excited!
I very much like the changes. It makes sense, since the community was already voting for a couple of the technical categories anyway. Can’t wait to vote. It’s probably my favorite part of the Awards Circuit.
If I’ll throw out personal FYC pleas, they’d be for Weekend (Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay), Nick Nolte – Warrior (Best Supporting Actor), Michael Parks – Red State (Best Supporting Actor), and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Best Cinematography, Best Sound). Excited for the voting!
One can only hope we’re not alone on Parks…if he’s not on the ballot (I don’t know for certain yet), write him in!
