More critics awards.....they just never end, do they?

Catherine Keener winning so many supporting actress awards is very annoying. She DOES NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM deserve the attention she is getting for Capote. This is clearly just a "hey, we like you and you were in lots of stuff this year" thing. Think it's similar to John C. Reilly in 2002? IT'S NOT. AT ALL. Reilly was deserving for two of his performances. Keener was good in all her work, but none of them approaches greatness or the heights she has hit several times in her previous efforts - most notably Being John Malkovich or Walking and Talking. I love this woman to no end, but I find it a little insulting she's getting such notices just for being so reliable in so many films this year. I actually thought she was best in 40 Year Old Virgin where she showcased her spunky, indie variation of Sandra Bullock that she does so damn well.

I'm still mulling over when I will announce the DKME awards. Hehe. Wait and see. Probably late January. I don't have the advantage of being invited to posh advance screenings. I have to wait impatiently like every other average moviegoer.
