The Indiewire Critics Poll does not include a separate designation for foreign films so 1 point was awarded to the highest ranked domestic film and 1 point was awarded to the highest ranked foreign film.

Too.Much.Math.
Thanks for doing all that work and posting this for us.
:-)
Math is your friend.
I probably made it more complicated than it needed to be, but I thought totals would be more interesting than another announcement of this or that award.
We’ll see if I can keep it up to date
Totals are always much more interesting. We like quantity.
If we just went by these numbers, we already have line-ups of five for the Lead Actor and Supporting Actor categories. Any or all of those men getting in would please me very much.
Unfortunately there’s no sign of Laura Linney. One more terribly overlooked actor who is taken for granted.
I probably should’ve checked to see who else was doing the same thing before I wasted my time, but whatever. It’s done.
Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman both are receiving massive hosings this year. It’s a shame, yet I can’t exactly argue with most of the picks that are being made.
Agreed. It’s just such a competitive year in every category. So many who are worthy and not enough awards to go round.
Well done Craig. My professional background as a researcher means that I’m often frustrated by the awards blogger’s disinterest in accurately describing measurably outcomes. Instead they treat the different sources of information as overly discrete events in which they swing from one premature interpretation to another. Simple descriptive statistics like this tell us the most about genuine trends. For me, the BP race is over. No Country is the overwhelming critics favorite and now there is good reason to think it’s the overwhelming acting branch favorite too (the largest individual voting body). Expect best director, editor, and adapted screenplay wins too. Speculation about the still compelling BP chances of potential rivals is nothing more than bread and circus :-) Without an ounce of SAG love, Atonement as the only real rival for No Country is dead and buried.
One big flaw of the totals is it gives the same weight to each group. The Phoenix critics have as much power as the LA Critics for example.
Still, I think this gives an interesting overall impression and some clear favorites have emerged from the critics groups. It will be interesting to see when the guilds ring in if they go for No Country as well.
I hate to throw this wrench in there, sartre, but what about Sweeney Todd? Many believe that it will snag 8-10 Oscar nominations. Some believe it’s going to mop up Oscar night (although, with so many great films this year, I would be disappointed to see one take everything, as exciting as that can be - it’s nice to see the love spread around).
True, it was snubbed by SAG, but that is because (1) most of the nominating committee didn’t see it, and (2) Johnny Depp snubbed the Q&A (according to David Poland anyway).
It did get several GG nominations, including Best Ensemble. I know that this doesn’t necessarily translate to Oscar best picture, but I think it’s a very strong contender.
Sorry - just had to play devil’s advocate.
Yeah, the Globes are a little more predictable because the noms for those come in the heat of all these other awards but the Oscars tend to follow some trends and completely buck others for a wide variety of reasons.
I definitely would not count out Sweeney Todd and I would not assume that all of this early enthusiasm for No Country will be prevailing over Oscar voters come voting deadline. On the other hand, since the Academy moved up the voting that weird period of indecision that can do odd things on Oscar night has been significantly shortened, so really it’s all just a horse race and no science you apply is perfect anymore.
These numbers are really interesting, regardless of the issue of equal weighting between sources. The fact that Jesse James is even in the running for Best Picture is curious as is the fact that No End in Sight is leading Sicko. Very interesting. The acting and technical categories seem to be following the prevailing winds right now so those numbers make sense although I’m a little surprised to see Julie Christie beating Ellen Page for Actress. Since Oscar tends to skew the Best Actress category towards experience as opposed to new talent, this is probably a telling trend.
I’m a little surprised to see Casey Affleck and the Clooney in such hot contention for Acting honors but again, that also doesn’t completely surprise me.
Thanks for the hard work Craig. Now I know what you were working on all day; ).
Curious to see where this all ends up.
Rereading my comments, I realize it sounds like I think these numbers imply Oscar frontrunners. I realize that is not the case nor is there some special award all of these numbers automatically attain.
No need to point that one out to me.
The totals are updated with Florida and Utah. No word from St. Louis yet that I can find.
Could someone who reads this click on the tab at the top of the page that says “awards 2007″ then email me if it displays a legible grid with no complications?
Ooh, I didn’t even know Florida and Utah were announced.
The grid did display legibly for me. It’s a bit slow, but I think that’s just my crappy laptop.
Thanks Alison. It’s slow on my computer too. I’m sure there’s a way to make the file smaller and easier to load, but I’ll worry about that later.
Just sent you an email, too, since I realized you’d asked to be emailed. You can ignore it. :-)
Thanks. If other people can click on it as well, the more systems and software I get feed back on, the better, so let me know if it works and what kind of computer and browser you’re using.
Jeez, No Country is really cleaning up. It looks that much more obvious seeing it in grid form.
I saw it for a 4th time last night. Regardless of what the haters are saying, it’s earned every accolade.
Gets better every time I see it.
Whatever way you cut it Craig, using total number of critics wins or most important among them - No Country comes out comfortably ahead.
Alison, I haven’t picked up on the buzz you’ve heard for Sweeney. Outside of the Globes, where it was always going to do well given the split category it’s not received much support at all. Or at least no more than other films and far less than No Country. I’m not sure what predictions that it’ll mop up are based on.
From what I can tell, sartre, it’s based on the fact that the film is already a hit with critics, all rave reviews, and will rake in major cash at the box office. Many are already saying it’s Burton’s best film (at least since Ed Wood). Also, it did get BFCA nominations in the important categories like Picture, Director, Lead Actor.
I’d be thrilled if No Country won BP, but I’m also wary since it is mopping up in the precursors. Many people keep citing Brokeback Mountain as an example. At least No Country got an ensemble nomination from SAG. I do think No Country is solid for a nomination, but after that, not so sure.
Same with Daniel Day-Lewis. He’s snagging almost every critics award. I’m thrilled for him. But such a clear frontrunner can fall.
Anyway, I just wanted to put another point of view out there. It’s not like I know what I’m talking about. :p
I still haven’t seen No Country once, let alone four times! How sad is that! I am so desperate to see it.
Same goes for Sweeney Todd, my desperation cannot get any worse. But patience is a virtue.
Alison, it’s so true what you are saying about this years “front runner” status, that they could end up with the Oscar nominations, but walk out empty handed. Even though I hope it doesn’t happen to DDL who totally deserves every accolade he receives, in my humble opinion of course, and I haven’t seen Sweeney, so I guess I am not the best judge.
Hi Nicholas, thanks for stopping by.
Your mission for this weekend is to go see No Country for Old Men! Sweeney can wait (though you should still see it), but you shouldn’t wait anothe rminute for NCfOM.
You can probably tell I’m a huge fan.
Sartre, all you at all worried about NCfOM’s obvious frontrunner status? The backlash is already starting to kick in and the awards haven’t even been announced yet.
I’m not convinced the Academy has a singular mind of it’s own and will collectively reject a movie just because the critics like it and they want to show everyone who is boss, nor am I convinced that Brokeback Mountain is a good example of a critical darling that lost (there were other factors at work there).
This isn’t an argument. I hope you’re right obviously, but I’m going to hold my bets until the guilds have their say.
I agree that perhaps the example of Brokeback Mountain vs. Crash that people are citing is a bad one. We know that certain AMPAS members wouldn’t even watch Brokeback and there was a large element of prejudice. Crash was the exact reverse - the Academy embraced its politically correct message.
Neither of those scenarios apply to No Country for Old Men or any of the films in contention this year. I just always become wary when films and people are so clearly in the lead. Someone can always catch up and overtake them. Even Javi isn’t safe; Casey Affleck will give him a run for his money.
And I just want to assure you, Craig, that I am not the backlash. I’m just reporting what I read.
I know Alison you wouldn’t dream of backlashing No Country!
Would you!!???
See this is were this awards business starts to get dangerous, when people confuse predictions for passions and passions for predictions.
When I say Atonement is going to win the Oscar (though I have to rethink that now thanks to those SAG jerks!) it’s not because I like it better.
Anyway, believe me, as much as I love No Country, I share your concerns Alison. I hope Sartre is right but methinks he might be trying to throw the Oscar gods off the scent of his own pesonal favorite TWBB just like I’m doing with Antonement and No Country….?
P.S. the grid is updated to include St. Louis.
Craig, I wish I could, but No Country hasn’t even been released in South Africa yet, but when it does, I am the first in line to see it.
That explains it. I didn’t know at first you were writing from South Africa. It must be very frustrating for you to hear about these movies all over the internet but have to wait and wait for them to come out.
I sometimes think I’d like to live somewhere besides the US, but I don’t know what I’d do if I had to wait to see my favorite movies.
Yeah I know. Half the time, I could nearly die of frustration, other times we have some very nice film critics over here that hold these early previews for those of us who are interested (like seeing Atonement or Juno in October, compared to their official February release dates over here), so sometimes I manage!
I live in the U.S. and NCfOM is playing some 30 miles away — wide release my ass. I’ve missed too many films this year because they didn’t open anywhere near me, i.e. Jesse James and Before the Devil.
I’ve tried to keep my expectations for NCfOM in check until I actually see the film, but I’m a big fan of the novel and McCarthy (and Roger Deakins’ cinematography).
Kudos for compiling the critics awards like this. A lot of the Oscar prognosticators seem to have tunnel vision, changing their predictions with each new award that comes out and not really analyzing the films based on their own merit. Zodiac is my favorite film of the year (perhaps until I see NCfOM and Jesse James?), but it has almost no chance at the Oscars.
Thanks for your comments WJ.
I’ve heard a LOT of complaining about the impossibility of seeing Jesse James, but yours is the first I’ve heard for NCfOM.
Luckily, with all the attention it’s getting and Oscar nominees seemingly a likely bet, I’m sure it will make it your way soon.
Jesse James wasn’t so lucky. That one was nipped in the bud before it ever had a chance to find an audience.
You’re probably right about Zodiac’s awards chances which is too bad. Frankly, that one should’ve been released around this time last year, but obviously the studio had little faith in it so they let it go during the first few months of the year which is a movie dead zone.
Anyway, I hope you get a chance to see NCfOM soon and I hope you’ll come back and let me know if you liked it.
Florida Film Critics up, posted on The Oscar Igloo blog. Same old same old.

One step ahead of you for once, they’re already on the grid :)
Bonus points for giving the award to Deakins for both Jesse James and No Country
:-)
It seems as if these guys are copying and pasting from each other, which worries me a bit.
But I can’t complain about the double cinematography nod for Deakins on both films.
It would be interesting to look back at recent years to see if the critics are always this unanimous or if NCfOM is just unusual.
I’m too lazy to do the math.
And Daniel Day-Lewis. He’s taking almost all of these.
w.j. i thing ‘before the devil’ widest was 321 theatres so boxofiice mojo says…
guessing jesse james was alot less.
no country is probably in as many theatres at s.todd.but yeah i understand area is important and i very often think those outside of n.y./cali…
really don’t care as long as they get to see. and see it first all is cool in the movie world…
You should all just move to LA. There’s room, I swear.
