Southeastern Film Critics Award Winners

soon to be followed by the Atlantis Critics Circle, Shangri La Critics Circle, and of course, the Bermuda Triangle Critics Circle...

BEST PICTURE
1. No Country for Old Men
2. There Will Be Blood
3. Atonement
4. Juno
5. Michael Clayton
6. Zodiac
7. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
8. Gone Baby Gone
9. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
10. Into the Wild

Atonement is slipping, while No Country remains in the lead, and There Will Be Blood becomes its biggest competition. Nice to see "Jesse James" and Zodiac in there too.

BEST ACTOR
Daniel Day-Lewis - There Will Be Blood
* Runner-up: George Clooney - Michael Clayton

why is Clooney the runner-up? Because he attempted to be more subtle than usual and did a decent job?

BEST ACTRESS
Julie Christie - Away from Her
* Runner-up: Ellen Page - Juno

good for Ellen.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Javier Bardem - No Country for Old Men
* Runner-up: Casey Affleck - The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward
Robert Ford

my two favorites. Spectacular.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Amy Ryan - Gone Baby Gone
* Runner-up: Cate Blanchett - I'm Not There

having seen Blanchett, I'd give her the win. Either Amy Ryan is amazing, or she's hugely overrated...

BEST DIRECTOR
Joel & Ethan Coen - No Country for Old Men
* Runner-up: Joe Wright - Atonement

the more awards for the Coens, the better. Good for Joe Wright as well.

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
Diablo Cody - Juno
* Runner-up: Tamara Jenkins - The Savages

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
Joel & Ethan Coen - No Country for Old Men
* Runner-up: Christopher Hampton - Atonement

BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (France)
* Runner-up: La vie en rose (France)

wow. the French are dominating foreign language film this year.

BEST DOCUMENTARY
No End in Sight
* Runner-up: Sicko

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE
Ratatouille
* Runner-up: The Simpsons Movie

WYATT AWARD
Waitress
* Runner-up: Black Snake Moan

nice to see Waitress got something....even though I have no idea what the award is for..
