    To be sure, an online award voted on solely by the Italian public isn’t exactly a high profile precursor or anything (more than partly due to coming a few months after the Oscars…among other things), but any award that recognizes ‘Drive’ as its Best Picture and Nicolas Winding Refn as its Best Director is good in my book. Throw in other winners like Michael Fassbender for Best Actor and Carey Mulligan for Best Supporting Actress (both for ‘Shame’), and this is well worth sharing. You can see the full list of winners after the jump, but I’ll just say this…if only the Oscars could have looked more like this last year, then we’d all be a lot happier I think. Alas…

    About Joey Magidson


    When he’s not obsessing over new Oscar predictions on a weekly basis, Joey is seeing between 200 and 300 movies a year. He views the best in order to properly analyze the awards race/season each year, but he also watches the worst for reasons he mostly sums up as "so you all don't have to". In his spare time, you can usually find him complaining about the Jets or the Mets. Still, he lives and dies by film. Joey's a voting member of the Internet Film Critics Association as well. Today the IFCA, tomorrow the world!

    2. The one that really stands out to me is Arrietty winning for Animated Film. It was the only animation that I really enjoyed last year. But overall great picks, the Italian public clearly have great taste in movies!! Oh, and is anyone else surprised by the lack of Italian films? You’d never see a winners list like this at the Goyas or Cesars.
