Spielberg nabs elusive critics group win
Don't worry about Britain, Steven. Iowa's got your back.
Hours after his BAFTA snub, Steven Spielberg gets off the mat and nabs his first critics group win of the season for "Lincoln," thanks to the Iowa Film Critics Assn.
"Lincoln" did very well in that part of the heartland, winning for film, director, lead actor (Daniel Day-Lewis) and supporting actor (Tommy Lee Jones). Winning the lead and supporting actress prizes were Jessica Chastain of "Zero Dark Thirty" and Anne Hathaway of "Les Miserables."
Top animated film was "Brave."
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
