| Special kudos to ... writer/director
Lars von Trier for his uniqueness of vision and provocation with "Antichrist"....and repeated from
last year - composer Carter Burwell for helping Spike Jonze achieve *his*
vision with the year's best score for "Where the Wild Things Are" as well
as for his work on "A Serious Man." In the overlooked and underappreciated
department, to Alan Rickman, whose Professor Snape in the "Harry Potter"
series has always been one of its biggest asssets and who, this year,
began his climatic story arc and to Tilda Swinton, who very few saw give
a gritty, raw yet fun turn in "Julia." Filmmaker/star Michael Keaton's "The Merry Gentleman" was
a melancholy minor miracle early in the year and the best film not released
in our (Boston) market last year which would have been high on 2008's top
ten list became available on DVD this year - "Silent Light." |
