The Venice Film Festival ended over the weekend, and I forgot to post the rundown of the awards; to be honest, I wasn't really following the goings-on this year. Darren Aronofsky apparently has jumped back into the critics' good book after the disastrously-received The Fountain, winning the coveted Golden Lion. The rest of the awards are as follows:Golden Lion: The Wrestler - dir. Darren Aronofsky - USA
