Critics' Choice Awards 2011 winners

Well, last day the Critics' awarded their favorites and there's no big surprise between the winners, but I want to congrate The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for receiving the Best Foreign Picture award (it really deserves the recognition) and the European cinema in general (also for the nominations of I Am Love and Biutiful (which is part Mexican and part Spanish, if I'm not wrong). I just want to know why wasn't Jennifer Lawrence the winner in the Best Young Actor/Actress category, specially when she's in a much more competitive race than Hailee Steinfeld and she have been beating some of serious Oscar contenders in some critics organizations awards... well, it's all beacause of the True Grit momentum (I'm not saying that Steinfeld didn't deserve the recognition, but she does, but I think Lawrence should get it because of such an extraordinary awards race without any category fraud that benefits her)!... If the Oscar winners list will be like the following one, I think it will be fair! Here's the list:

Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

Now that the Fall film festival has passed, it's time to make some changes in the Oscar predictions charts: La bola negra is on a winning strike taking home the TIFF's People Choice Award; The movies I Play Rocky and Elsinore revealed themselves as huge crowd-pleasers and can be extremely viable Best Picture candidates; Neon's has found its big Oscar player (Luca Guadagnino's Artificial ) and Paper Tiger got more enthusiastic word from New York and London; the unexpected A24's documentary You Can See Everything is (currently) the most well-reviewed movie of the year and it's on track to become a truly unexpected box-office hit; Lee Chang-dong's Possible Love entered Best International Film race and it can have nice shots in screenplay and directing (according to reviews), suprassing the buzz of early favorites All of a Sudden and Fjord ; Digger is a bomb and not a promising Oscar vehicle; Sense and Sensibility is doing well with critics and it is project...
