More Critics Awards...

I think after this all that is left is the National Society of Film Critics.  They don't announce until early January.  These aside, there is a busy week ahead.  The Broadcast Film Critics announce their nominations on Tuesday, Screen Actors Guild announces on Wednesday and the Golden Globes announce on Thursday.  I'll be doing predictions for SAG and the Globes the night before their announcements.  A lot will be cleared up after this week with regard to the acting categories, as the only major non-guild precursor left is the BAFTAs.  I believe they actually announce the day before Oscar noms.  I'm guessing if AMPAS keeps the early January Oscar announcement in the coming years, most other guilds/groups will bump their dates up as well.  I also expect and would hope that means better films throughout the year, rather than all lumped in December. 

Here we go..
