Who I’m Voting for in the New York Film Critics Circle Awards
By Kyle | December 13, 2009
As the Circle prepares to meet tomorrow morning in our secret tomblike structure somewhere in the molten vicinity of the earth’s core*, I advise that I will be unable to reveal anything about the clandestine methods of this ring of stalwarts. Here’s who I hope wins; sometimes you can’t vote for your top choice (you may wind up voting for your tenth choice) if no one else supports it, so in parentheses I’ll name alternatives I wouldn’t mind voting for if my no. 1 pick isn’t attracting many other votes.

If you see someone who looks like Vincent Price at the Critic’s Circle award, I suggest you run quickly away.
