London Film Critics Awards
The London Film Critics have handed their Film of the Year award to United 93, and Paul Greengrass has won the Director of the Year trophy...very good moves. Otherwise, Helen Mirren won the Best British Actress award for her performance in The Queen, blah blah. That film's director, Stephen Frears, and screenwriter, Peter Morgan, took the Best British Director of the Year and Screenwriter of the Year awards, respectively. The Last King of Scotland's Forest Whitaker took the Actor of the Year award blah, blah. The Devil Wears Prada's Meryl Streep won Actress of the Year.

All well and good but you have to remember that there is a strong whiff of parochial nationalism about these awards. This committee would have seen United 93 as a British film because of Greengrass's nationality and the same goes for The Queen. United deserves to be honored but parochialism does not.
