D.C. critics go for 'No Country'
More of these!
The Washington, D.C. critics voted today, giving their Best Picture honors to "No Country for Old Men." So in one day, it's the Coens vs. P.T.A across four awards-giving bodies. INTERESTING.
Here's the full list of D.C. winners
Best Film: "No Country for Old Men"
Best Director: Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, "No Country for Old Men"
Best Actor: George Clooney, "Michael Clayton"
Best Actress: Julie Christie, "Away From Her"
Best Ensemble: "No Country for Old Men"
Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem, "No Country for Old Men"
Best Supporting Actress: Amy Ryan, "Gone Baby Gone"
Best Breakthrough Performance: Ellen Page, "Juno"
Best Adapted Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin, "Charlie Wilson's War"
Best Original Screenplay: Diablo Cody, "Juno"
Best Animated Feature: "Ratatouille"
Best Foreign Language Film: "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly"
Best Documentary: "Sicko"
Best Art Direction: "Sweeney Todd:The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"
So that's 3 for 4 for Amy Ryan today. I didn't see that coming, I have to say. Aaron Sorkin's win for "Charlie Wilson's War" is a bit out of left field, given that "No Country for Old Men" racked up three other wins (including a second score for ensemble acting).
No precursor love so far for "Atonement" and "American Gangster."

Oops. Thanks for the correction, it certainly SEEMED like she was 4/4.

Amy Ryan isn't 4/4 today. Cate Blanchett won NYFCO.
