Boston Film Critics Reveal Awards
The key date this week in the Oscar sweepstakes is Thursday, when the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) nominations are announced. Meanwhile, the Boston movie critics announced their awards today: Best Picture was a tie between “WALL-E” and “Slumdog Millionaire.” (The latter is slowly emerging as Oscar’s frontrunner.) Boston’s other awards also honored Oscar leaders: Sean Penn, Heath Ledger, Penelope Cruz. The Best Actress award went to Sally Hawkins (pictured) for “Happy-Go-Lucky,” and I’m sensing an Oscar nom for her at this point. LemonWade spotted Hawkins as a contender last February.
