The Queen Wins A Best Picture NodBy Josh Tyler: 2006-12-11 00:00:00
This was a big weekend for awards, with several major critics’ organizations handing out their annual accolades for 2006 films. The New York Film Critics Online was in the mix honoring their list of movies. They became the first major critic’s organization to award the incredibly bland Princess Diana post-death movie The Queen Best Picture. With the inexplicably positive reaction this turd has gotten on the festival circuit, expect a lot more of this to come as the awards season wears on.
In addition to giving The Queen Best Picture they gave it four other awards, making it their most honored movie of 2006. The NYFCO awarded Actress Helen Mirren, Director Stephen Frears, Supporting Actor Michael Sheen, and Screenplay Peter Morgan. Other boring winners included Dreamgirls star Jennifer Hudson for Breakthrough Performer and Forest Whitaker for The Last King of Scotland. Notably absent was Clint Eastwood’s Letters from Iwo Jima, which won Best Picture from the National Board of Review and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. The NYFCO's full list of 2006 winners is below: Best Picture - The Queen Best Actor - Forest Whitaker, The Last King of Scotland Best Actress - Helen Mirren, The Queen Best Director - Stephen Frears, The Queen Best Supporting Actor - Michael Sheen, The Queen Best Supporting Actress - (tie) Jennifer Hudson, Dreamgirls / Catherine O'Hara, For Your Consideration Best Breakthrough Performer - Jennifer Hudson, Dreamgirls Best Screenplay - Peter Morgan, The Queen Best Documentary Feature - An Inconvenient Truth Best Foreign Language Picture - Pan's Labyrinth Best Animated Feature - Happy Feet Best Cinematography - Dick Pope, The Illusionist Best Film Music/Score - Philip Glass, The Illusionist Humanitarian Award - Deepa Mehta, Water
