Now the critics choose: Batman vs `Milk,' `Button'
2009-01-08
SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Harvey Milk and Benjamin Button each came into Thursday's Critics' Choice Awards with eight nominations, but Batman or an unlikely millionaire was liable to swipe the night's big prize. "Milk" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" led nominees, though "The Dark Knight," "Doubt" and "Slumdog Millionaire" weren't far behind with six nods each. All were up for best picture. The 14th annual Critics Choice Awards, presented by the Broadcast Film Critics Association at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, honor cinematic excellence in 17 categories. Nominees and winners are chosen by the BFCA, which represents more than 200 TV, radio and online critics from the United States and Canada. The group established its Critics' Choice Awards in 1995. Thursday's two-hour ceremony was to be broadcast live on VH1. ___ On the Net: http://www.bfca.org/
