The calendar has turned to the major film awards. The big ones are the Golden Globes, sponsored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and the Oscars, of course, sponsored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. But there are a few other significant groups as well.
We posted the National Board of Review (NBR) Awards winners earlier. Last week IFP's 18th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards took place in New York on the same day that Film Independent's Spirit Award nominations were handed out. And today, for the first time in their 33 year history, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association has awarded its highest honor to an animated film.
