(Scroll over any film title for the full Black Sheep review.)
Yes, I live in Toronto. No, I am not part of the Toronto Film Critics Association. These babies are tough to crack some times. I am however part of an association comprised on Toronto's best and brightest online film critics. Mostly we just get together and drink once a month but we do occasionally discuss the odd film here and there and our list of 2010's best will be coming near the close of the year. In the meantime, the Toronto film critics that actually get paid to do what I do have announced their choices for the best of 2010.
Toronto is just as taken with THE SOCIAL NETWORK as all the other major film critic associations stateside, awarding the film the top prize, as well as prizes for director (David Fincher), screenplay (Aaron Sorkin) and actor (Jesse Eisenberg). They also recognized the film's Armie Hammer as Best Supporting Actor for his dual role as the Winklevoss twins. Other interesting choices include newcomer, Hallee Steinfeld for her supporting turn in TRUE GRIT and HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON as animated feature.
The Toronto Film Critics Association will hand out its awards on January 12, 2011, at a ceremony at Nota Bene, a restaurant that I could walk to right now if I felt like. They will then announce the winner of the Rogers Best Canadian Feature Award. The nominees in that category and all the other winners are listed below.
