Awards -- Dallas-Ft. Worth Critics

A group of critics that I always pay particular attention to, partly because I used to live there, and partly because their winner has also won the Best Picture Oscar 6 of the last 8 years, only differing in 05 and 06 (they chose Brokeback Mountain & United 93, respectively). But for now, the winners are...
