The Indiana Film Journalists Association's daffy nominations have turned into daffy winners over a matter of days! It seems that Safety Not Guaranteed is the best film of the year (sure, in one or two people's opinions, but an entire critical organisation?), and that Bradley Cooper is as good in Silver Linings Playbook as Daniel Day-Lewis is in Lincoln. K sure! Also, The Raid: Redemption is the best foreign language film of the year. I may be in the minority about that film, but to place it over Amour? And Holy Motors, one of their (very limited) slate of nominees from a few days ago? Ach, I won't denigrate the IFJA too much. Their choices do that job very well on their own.
