Alliance of Women Film Journalists 2010 EDA Award winners
Lots of love for The Social Network, Black Swan, and The Kids Are All Right…
critic buzz
question of the day: Is Ignatiy Vishnevetsky too young to host Roger Ebert’s new review show?
The just-announced cohost of Ebert’s new review show is all of 24 years old. It means he was 10 or 11 when Christy Lemire, the show’s other host, starting working as a film critic. WTF?

you’re not helping: AV Club writer fabricates a review, and too many people defend him
Leonard Pierce, a writer at the AV Club, ”reviewed” a book that isn’t even finished yet, and he’s got a whole helluva lotta people dissmissing his actions as no big deal…
what he said: Dustin Rowles at Pajiba…
…on what critics can do about the tragedy of crap such as Life as We Know It scoring very highly with audiences and doing well at the box office…
wtf: 10-year-old film critic represents the best that the American press has to offer
Imagine you were last year’s winner of the San Diego Press Club 2010 Excellence in Journalism Award. Or imagine you’re next year’s winner. The most positive thing you could possibly take from having such an award bestowed upon you is that you are at least as professional as a fucking fourth-grader.
wtf: Catholic press complaining that ‘Eat Pray Love’ isn’t Catholic Churchy enough
When EPL opened in North America in August, the Catholic press was pretty darned peeved over it. Why? Julia Roberts’ Liz Gilbert — and the film itself, as a consequence — gives less than zero thought to Jesus in her quest for spiritual enlightenment.
