This is the twenty-first category of the 2nd Annual AFT Film Awards to be announced. The AFT Awards are my own personal choices for the best in film of each year and the best in television of each season. The AFT Film Awards include the traditional Oscar categories and a number of additional specific honors. Nominees are pictured in the order I’ve ranked them.
Runners-up:
A CHRISTMAS TALE
THE BAND’S VISIT
HAPPY-GO-LUCKY
MILK
IN BRUGES
The winner:
Synecdoche, New York was full of incredible actors playing each other, and I’m sure it wouldn’t have worked nearly as well without the terrific pairings of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Tom Noonan, Samantha Morton and Emily Watson, and a number of amazing supporting players.
Other nominees:
Slumdog Millionaire had, with the exception of Irrfan Khan, all actors unknown in the United States, and they worked together as well as the most seasoned, trained cast. Rachel Getting Married brought together an incredibly diverse ensemble of actors and they all felt searing in their realness. RocknRolla was made hilarious and irresistible by the unique contributions of Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Thandie Newton, Mark Strong, and every other actor involved. Reprise built relationships between young, fresh faces who make me want to see Norwegian movies every day.
