On the 2008 Critic’s Choice Awards winners were announced and even a tie. Best Actor went to Sean Penn for Milk. Penn is a great actor but the film is rather odd. Heath Ledger won for Best Supporting Actor for Dark Knight. This was no surprise since so many had predicted he would win. Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep tied for Best Actress. They teamed up in The Devil Wear’s Prada and once again they are both winners but in two different films. Anne’s role in Rachel Getting Married got her the win and Meryl won for Doubt.

Somehow a film named Slumdog Millionare won best picture and best director categories. I never heard of this film so it must be a low budget movie that was recently released. Apparently the critics like it. Tropic Thunder (which is one of the worst movies I have ever seen) won best comedy movie. I don’t understand what was thought to be so funny about this weird film but I couldn’t even watch it all the way through.

The show wasn’t bad. It was filled with many appearances from a variety of celebrities. Everyone was dressed to their best and professional. There wasn’t anyone who tried to stand out with a gaudy dress or outlandish outfit. The time lasted its proper time without going over and into other shows such as the news. For the most part, the Critic’s Choice Awards were alright. Celebrities were nominated and received their awards. No real entertainment during the process, but good enough to make you wonder who would get the award. It is always best to record these type of shows so you can fast forwards through parts you don’t care to see.
