Detroit Critics Pick Rourke and Tomei Among Usual Suspects

The critics in Detroit took time away from their busy schedules shaking their heads at the ignominy of the Detroit Lions Oh-fer season and the even worse news from the Big Three automakers to compile a really good list of award winners, which we found over at Alternative Film Guide. With another win each for Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle, and Heath Ledger, there are now consensus picks in the Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor races, but Detroit didn't go with one of the more usual choices in either the Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress categories. I think that speaks to a fairly level playing field where those performances are concerned, and here, where the supporting actress supports the group's pick for its Best Actor, that makes its own kind of sense.Best Picture:
Slumdog Millionaire
Best Actor:
Mickey Rourke - The Wrestler
Best Actress:
Kate Winslet - Revolutionary Road
Best Supporting Actor:
Heath Ledger - The Dark Knight
Best Supporting Actress:
Marisa Tomei - The Wrestler
Best Director:
