The Washington Area Film Critics Association, of which Tim and I are members, released their picks for 2009. Like DCist, we’re a bit disappointed A Single Man didn’t make the vote. But I have a sneaking suspicion it will once the actual awards come around. Same goes for Sam Rockwell and his stellar performance in Moon. And while I think George Clooney’s appeal is waning, I wholeheartedly agree with the selection of Sin Nombre.
