This week, it's our annual Critics' Choice Awards, recognizing those films our critics believe were the best movies of the year as movies, whether they carried a redeeming message or not. Five of our choices also appear on our Most Redeeming list, and five were also nominated for Oscars for Best Picture. We also pay more attention to small indie films than the Academy generally does—thus our inclusion of films like Win Win, Of Gods and Men, Drive, and The Mill & The Cross.
Drum roll, please: Presenting the CT Critics' Choice Awards for 2011.
