Awards -- Vancouver Film Critics

Vancouver is usually an interesting group to look at, mainly for the reason that they nominate their choices somewhat later in the "oscar season", and also choose only 3 per category. That said, a lot of the those choices can usually be considered as "front-runners."

[EDIT] They have now announced their winners, going, not-surprisingly, with The Social Network as well.
