33rd London Critics Circle Film Awards
Nominations 18 Dec 12
|
Notes from Rich: The Critics' Circle is the world's oldest body of critics, established in 1913 and celebrating its centenary this year. As secretary of the film section and chair of the awards committee, I'm pretty heavily involved in putting on our film awards ceremony. Unlike the Oscars or Globes, we have more than 120 members who watch all of the movies and vote on what we admire rather than trying to follow the buzz or being lured by over-hyped films - we keep them in their place (see Lincoln, Les Miserables and even Zero Dark Thirty). So we tend to mix foreign actors and filmmakers in our top categories (see Amour and Once Upon a Time in Anatolia), remember offbeat brilliance (Bardem, Fassbender, Lowe and Oram) and champion smaller independent films (Wild Bill, My Brother the Devil, Sightseers). Our awards night, held this year in the intimate May Fair Hotel, was a relaxed and hugely enjoyable star-packed evening.

| With the Critics Circle awards, its just a bunch of guys hanging out and we have a drink. My bag. I love that award. I appreciate that award so much. That was a good year.
The Critics Circle Film Awards are a bit like how the Golden Globes used to be when they were a party and not a pre-Oscar industry occasion.
