...gives Hollywood three films to see and debate, Others may be added: Babel, Dreamgirls, Pedro Almodovar's Volver - maybe the indie hit Little Miss Sunshine. That could be a dark horse like last year's Crash, which all the critics' groups except Chicago's ignored, the better to celebrate Brokeback Mountain. The field's more open this year. In the New York Film Critics' voting, the 12 awards went to 11 different films; only The Queen won two. And though we weren't thinking about it, the 11 films had 10 different distributors; only Warner Bros. had two winners...
...just as boring as its predecessor. “Taking the center from the margins” seems to be the raison d’être of several of the best films produced in culture-war-America over the past year, from the spectacular “Brokeback Mountain” to the delightful “Little Miss Sunshine.” But director Steven Shainberg and screenwriter Erin Cressinda Wilson—the creative minds behind the charmingly idiosyncratic S&M romantic comedy “Secretary”—have taken the idea...

Here's another: in each of the six major categories at this year's Academy Awards, at least three of the five nominees had played at TIFF, including the big winners, Crash and Brokeback Mountain. That's why the current bash looks like an Oscar photo op. Brad and Reese, Tom Hanks and Will Ferrell, Sean Penn and Russell Crowe are clogging the red carpet, hoping that September in Canada is a harbinger of February in California. Warning to the stars: You may be upstaged...
