2003 New York Film Critics Circle Awards
And so it begins: another season of annual film awards. First up, the 2003 New York Film Critics Circle awards. HERE THEY ARE.
The "Best Picture" award went to The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. This appears particularly significant because this group typically gravitates toward art house stuff that most people would never see. Last year, for example, they picked Far From Heaven. If even the artsy-fartsy crowd starts getting behind a big blockbuster mall film, then more mainstream Oscars and Golden Globes are pretty likely going to be all over it. Of course all this bodes very well for this big finale making a big commercial splash as well.
I'll confess to not having seen most of these films. Heck, I've never even HEARD of some of them. How much that reflects on their obscurity versus my own lack of culture, I leave to the judgment of you gentle readers.
I was especially pleased, however, with one pick here: Eugene Levy in A Mighty Wind. That was an outstanding acting performance, besides his contributions there as a writer, and even as a songwriter. Good call. He managed to generate great pathos from a character in a satirical comedy, and with a minimum of gesture.
The awards here for best actor and director add to my previous interest and mean that I'm definitely going to have to catch up with Lost in Translation.
