Four more critics' circles announced their year-end awards today. Amy Ryan seems to be taking the place of once frontrunner for the best supporting actress category Cate Blanchett (though I may suspect that confusion would be made as to whether she was the lead or supporting). Frank Langella has also emerged as a dark horse candidate for Best Actor... and if you're wondering about Colossal Youth from Portugal which took two best "experimental" films, the film, as of yet, has no US distributor (I'll keep you posted with that one). And this year's Cannes line-up appears to be connecting with the US film awards much more than previous years with In Competition films like No Country for Old Men, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Colossal Youth, Persepolis, and 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days all faring quite well in the year-end rush of prizes. Keep in mind though that The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is ineligible for the Foreign-Language Oscar as France chose Persepolis as their official selection. I'm pretty sure a good portion of the film is in English as well, so France avoided the conflict that Israel is facing now with their selection of The Band's Visit. I really don't have anything to say other than that... but here they are anyway. UPDATED: 12/11 with San Francisco Film Critics Circle.
