The Critics Choice Awards



How y'all doing out there?!?! Jamie here. It's been one whirlwind of a week for both Sean and I so we've both been MIA. Our apologies. This was an interesting week in movies for me. I saw three films-The Fighter, I Am Love, and Blue Valentine. Check back later for my thoughts on each!

Friday night was The Critics Choice Awards and The Golden Globes are tomorrow at 7pm. It's awards weekend! I read over the winners from The Critics Choice awards and for the most part it went just as I thought it would go. The one category that I don't agree with is (**SPOILER ALERT) The Fighter winning for Best Acting Ensemble. I picked The Social Network because in my opinion the supporting cast gave stronger performances than the cast of The Fighter. But, I can see why The Fighter won.

Anyway, the winners are posted after the jump!
