Awards season rolls on with the The Boston Society of Film Critics, New York Film Critics Online, and International Press Academy all announcing their selections over the weekend.

A look back through the previous posts on this blog will reveal a trend emerging among this year's lists so far -- <em>Slumdog Millionaire</em> and <em>Milk</em> consistently top the narrative features while <em>Man on Wire</em> nabs best documentary kudos. Among foreign films, the wonderful Swedish coming-of-age film <em>Let The Right One In</em> is being honored by many groups. It was one of my Top 10 Picks from this year's Tribeca Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award.
