Borat: Best Depiction of Nudity

Haven't seen LMS, but is Alan Arkin really "in support of a female protagonist or female perspective"?

Well, yeah... sorta. Sure.

"Olive, you are the most beautiful girl, and it's not because of your brains or personality."

That scene almost made me cry

unh .. prairie home companion?? what is by or about women about that one?

Well, it has lots of women... in it.

unh ... no .. it has equal number of men and women and its safe to say that the men are more prominant in the film as leads than the women.

A little sexist, eh?

me? why? the film spent more time dealing with the stories of men cept madsen whose character is beyond incomprehendable. This isn't about being a sexist .. i just don't understand how this film classifies as a female driven film.

Its like .... Best film about a 'man' (not by) and prairie home being nominated. it makes no sense.

Heh, even women rejected the awful Lake House!

Sigh.

I was kidding, baba.

I think these awards are pretty dumb, too. My best guess is that because the film had a lot of big female names, they took that as it also being "female-driven."

This is the greatest category ever. But I'm sure Alan Arkin would take offense to the idea that he's playing a Supporting Supporting Actor role to a Supporting Actress in what is considered to be an ensemble piece.

I always have a problem with these types of Awards. What next? The Aryan film awards? The film awards of descendents of slaves from the Senegal area only?

Still some of the more lighthearted catagories are pretty good.

i've always wanted a 'white man' award ceremony. that would be brilliant.

I can't believe it gets a category. I'm soo making sure that goes on the IMDB awards page.

No Shortbus for nudity. The one thing it was great at, too.

I wonder if Jaye Davidson would have been nominated in 92 for "Best Performance... in support of a female perspective"

HANGING IN THERE FOR THE BEST PERSISTENCE
Deepa Mehta - Water

BEST OF THE FESTS
In Recognition of the outstanding films that premiered and were seen at festivals during 2006, but have not yet found their way into distribution.

Apart from That -- Randy Walker and Jennifer Shainin
This quirky, experimental first feature explores themes of
loneliness, relationship and the desire for love and acceptance.
Using an amateur cast, the filmmakers scheduled shooting two days on, one day off, so they could rewrite the script as they went along, based on where the actors were taking their roles. (Seen at Sundance)


Cats of Mirikatani - Linda Hattendorf
A wonderful documentary about how a courageous filmmaker
managed to change her subject's life for the better. (Seen at
Tribeca Film Festival)

Cinnamon - Kevin Jerome Everson
This experimental blend of documentary and narrative filmmaking
presents the story of a female drag racer whose family are all involved in the exhilarating sport. (Seen at Sundance)

Falling - Barbara Albert
Working improvisationally with actors, Albert follows a group of 30-something Austrian women who reunite 14 years after their schooldays at their teacher's funeral, and confront their unrealized dreams and burdensome adult lives. Albert's portrait of the difficulties women face is realistic, yet optimistic. (Seen at New York Film Festival)

Just Like The Son - Morgan J. Freeman
A sweet, simple story about a troubled teen who opens his heart to a young, neglected boy. (Seen at Tribeca Film Festival)

Shadow of Afghanistan - Suzanne Bauman and Jim Burroughs
It took 20 years to complete this documentary chronicling developments in Afghanistan, from Eisenhower's 1959 friendly visit, through Soviet invasion and expulsion, the ensuing civil war, to post-9/11 American bombing and occupation. The film uses extraordinary footage, some shot by slain journalist Lee Shapiro, to present the lives of a beleaguered people. (Seen at Tribeca Film Festival)

Snow Cake - Marc Evans
Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman give wonderful performances in this film, which was flawlessly written by newcomer Angela Pell. (Seen at Tribeca Film Festival)


Son of Man - Mark Dornford-May
An effective and powerful retelling of the Jesus Christ story, transposed to Africa during civil war. It's intense and violent and familiar and moving, all at once. (Seen at Sundance)
BEST DEPICTION OF NUDITY OR SEXUALITY
Little Children

DON'T STICK YOU HEAD IN THE SAND AWARD
Jesus Camp - Heidi Ewing and Rachel

2006's OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT BY A WOMAN IN THE FILM INDUSTRY
For her amazing 2006 trifecta as Susan in Babel, Lena Brandt in The Good German, and
Sheba Hart in Notes On A Scandal, AWFJ officially dubs her Cate the Great, and presents its 2006 Outstanding Achievement Award

Cate Blanchett

THE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
For a treasury of extraordinary performances far too numerous to name here, and much too memorable to make it necessary to do so, for her great integrity in choosing and making the very most out of roles big and small, for her ability to melt into the ensemble or seize the spotlight with a single biting line delivery, for having the versatility to be as at home in historical dramas as she is in James Bond pictures, for her commitment to lending her abilities to the part rather than bending the part to her abilities and for being famous not just as a powerhouse performer but also as a woman who's a delightful colleague, always supportive, ready with restorative humor and generous with handmade needlepoint pillows for those whom she especially favors, it is with a great hurrah that there's much more to come, that AWFJ presents its 2006 EDA Award for Lifetime Achievement

Dame Judi Dench.

AWFJ AWARD FOR HUMANITARIAN ACTIVISM
For redirecting the spotlight that shines on her so that it illuminates critical problems of child welfare, poverty, pandemic and prevasive violence throughout the world, and for commiting her spirit, time and material resources to their resolution, it is with profound respect and appreciation that AWFJ presents its 2006 EDA Award for Humanitarian activism

Angelina Jolie

AN ACTRESS DEFYING AGE AND AGISM
For making career and life choices that let fans of all ages know that becoming older is much easier and more joyful when it is not encumbered by the prejudices society places upon it, it is with great enthusiasm that AWFJ presents its 2006 EDA Award for Defying Age and Agism

Dame Helen Mirren

ACTRESS MOST IN NEED OF A NEW AGENT
Uma Thurman

MOVIES YOU WANTED TO LOVE BUT JUST COULDN'T

and

Mel Gibson, who has been awarded his place in the AWFJ Hall of Shame in recognition of the sexism he displayed when, according to police reports, he called a female officer 'sugar tits,' during his more famously anti-Semitic rant. We wish to assure Mr. Gibson that we heard the full scope of his rage that evening-- not just the Jewish part.
The Alliance of Women Film Journalists (AWFJ) IS a not-for-profit association of professional female movie critics, reporters and feature writers working in print, broadcast and online media. Our purpose is to support work by and about women-- both in front of and behind the cameras-- though intra-group promotional activities, outreach programs and by presenting awards in recognition of outstanding accomplishments (the best and worst) by and about women in the movies.
