2010 Knight Awards Winners: The End is Nigh

Another year another Oscar Ceremony upon us.  Another year another Knight Award Winners announcement.  My enthusiasm has waned considerably in the past few weeks when it comes to the 2010 film year.  This Awards season has been exhausting in many ways, but mostly for its predictability.  I've also grown tired because my horse in this race has almost zero chance of finishing first even though it has the entire critical community behind it.  You think I would be used to this by now.  The Academy and I seldom agree with what should even be nominated let alone what should actually win.  I'm looking forward to Sunday night where I can get drunk, yell at the TV screen during the ceremony, and pass out and forget all about it the next day.  It is two months into 2011 after all and I really need to start obsessing about the films coming out this year. It will be a nice palette cleanser. I'm not even having an Oscar party this year due to rehearsal situations.  2010 will never be remembered as a great film year, but I must admit there are at least five films that had a profound effect on me that I may well never forget.  They are, in no particular order, The Social Network, Inception, Black Swan, True Grit, and Shutter Island.  Each one is an amazing vision from accomplished directors working at the top of their form.  It was worth wadding through all the trash just to get to those five beautiful pieces of work. In the next couple of days expect a reaction post to the Oscar Ceremony as well as a post on my most anticipated films of 2011.  Without further ado here are the 2010 Knight Award Winners. Read after the jump.

The Oscar Nominations: A Reaction

By Sean Knight

First let me apologize for my absence from the blog.  My computer is dead and will not be fixed until I have some extra income, in other words not until I get my tax return.  In the meantime Jeanette has been taking care of the blog and was kind enough to post my 2010 Knight Award nominations yesterday.  I am currently using whatever computer I can get my hands on in order to pop on here every once in a while and will continue to do so till my computer is fixed, so bear with me. 



I'm going to do this category by category.  As you can expect lots of bitching will ensue.  Read on after the jump.
