Every year about this time, we critics torture ourselves (no, really, it’s quite difficult) with the impossible task of objectively categorizing works of art.

Every year I hear friends bemoan the state of the film industry and lament that there were so few good movies to see. And each year I look at them, mouth slightly agape, and wonder what planet they’re from.
Granted, my situation is somewhat unique. I will probably end 2008 having seen roughly 130 films — [...]]]></description>

I am proud to be a member of WAFCA and to have participated in this year&#8217;s voting.
