U.S. Film Critics Awards 2009
This year, rather than separately announce the winners for each of the U.S. Film Critics Awards, I'm going to pull them all together into one post and tally them up as we go, updating the article.
I don't know yet if it will work, but it might provide a different view of the awards as they come in. So far the awards for Film Critics from Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Boston and New York have been announced, and you can see them right here.
