'Basterds' Dominates Phoenix Film Critics Awards

The 10th annual Phoenix Film Critics Society awards have been announced, and since I vote in this one, I thought I'd share. Now, in the interest of transparency, I should tell you that these votes don't necessarily reflect my own thoughts, and since I have long maintained the PFCS has way too many awards, I don't even vote in some of these categories myself, because I am not confident that we are, as a body, completely qualified to do so. But it was a big year for Inglourious Basterds in the Valley of the Sun, and I'm happy to see that, even if it's not tops on my list. It's a bit more progressive than some of our previous years have reflected. So here they are, beginning first with the society's top ten films of the year in alphabetical order. Avatar
