Incredible year, and I have only seen few films from it. Maybe the best of the century after 2001. I’ll combine the screenplay categories because I don’t want to check what’s adapted and what isn’t. And as usual, no gender distinction from me in the acting categories; and, in this case, no supporting ballot because I can’t think of five performances.

Best Picture
24 City (winner)
35 Shots of Rum
Artemide’s Knee
Gran Torino
Night and Day

Best Director
Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker
Clint Eastwood, Changeling
Christian Petzold, Jerichow
M. Night Shyamalan, The Happening
Wachowski Sisters, Speed Racer (winners)

Best Screenplay
Hong Sang-soo, Night and Day
Dave Johansson & Nick Schenk, Gran Torino
Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Max Mannix & Sachiko Tanaka, Tokyo Sonata
Lucrecia Martel, The Headless Woman
Cesare Pavese, Artemide’s Knee (winner)

Best Performance in a Leading Role
Alex Descas, 35 Shots of Rum
Mati Diop, 35 Shots of Rum (winner)
Nina Hoss, Jerichow
Angelina Jolie, Changeling
Kin Young-ho, Night and Day
