I should have noted this earlier, but here's to the Toronto Film Critics Association for ignoring the Zelig impulse, standing up like men of character and cojones and giving their Best Picture award to Kelly Reichardt's Wendy and Lucy. The two runnners-up were Rachel Getting Married and WALL*E.
Wendy and Lucy's Michelle Williams was named Best Actress, Jonathan Demme was named Best Director for Rachel Getting Married, Rachel's Jenny Lumet won for Best Screenplay, Rachel's Rosemarie DeWitt won Best Supporting Actress, Mickey Rourke took the Best Actor award for The Wrestler and the late Heath Ledger won Best Supporting Actor for his work in The Dark Knight.

Glad Toronto folks have balls. Karina Longworth has a really good interview up over at Spout.

Wow, there are still film critics out there championing idiosyncratic tastes instead of merely trying to confirm their supposed position of influence in the Oscar race?
Although looking at their other choices I'm not so sure. Wishful thinking, I suppose.

So Rachel Getting Married is best directed, best written, and best acted film in their view and yet another film is named best film. WTF?

Michelle williams is really good in most everything she has done and I am also wanting to see this. She was great in Syn, NY.

Re: The Toronto Film Critics (of whom I am one), didn't you mean, "standing up like men and women of character and cojones"? Just sayin....
