Boston critics tell the AFI to fuck off
Take note, American Film Institute. Take note.
Talk about right up your alley -- taking Picture, Director, Screenplay, Supporting Actor, and runner-up again in Supporting Actor, and Ensemble, "The Departed" swept the Boston critics awards today. Whitaker and Mirren, a winning combo we're likely to see a lot this year, were awarded actor and actress, respectively. Thankfully, "United 93" finally showed up this season taking Best Ensemble, and were awarded runner-up for Best Picture and Best Director.
