critics choice awards!

all righty. critics choice awards are on as i write this, and it's gone as following so far, if anyone's interested:
best comedy: tropic thunder (yes!! i was hoping it was either tt or forgetting sarah marshall)
best supporting actor: heath ledger for the dark knight (r.i.p. heath, you were amazing)
best young actor or actress: dev patel for slumdog millionaire (i want to see this movie so much)
best documentary: man on wire (i was hoping young@heart would win, but hey, you can't have it all)
best cast ensemble: milk (woot! this beat out the dark knight)
best action movie: the dark knight (either this or iron man for me. granted, i hadn't seen any of the other movies, though)
best supporting actress: kate winslet for the reader (kate's all over the place, she was great in titanic, though)

there were a bunch more that i can't remember at the moment, but here's waiting for best picture. adios for now, gonna go do some studying for anatomy...fun.

EDIT: now i kind of think i would've wanted iron man to win best action movie, because the dark knight was nominated for best picture overall, and likely will be in the sag awards, golden globes, and the oscars, too. they were both pretty equal in the action category, i think, but the dark knight could be so many different genres: drama, action, superhero...and iron man's really only action and superhero. i dunno.

best actor: sean penn (i definitely think he deserved this, he was fantastic in milk)
best actress: tie (!) between meryl streep for doubt, and anne hathaway for rachel getting married. i was pretty happy that anne won, she seemed absolutely ecstatic, and her acceptance speech kind of reminded me of adrien brody's when he won the oscar for best actor for the pianist (he's great). you can tell that it meant so much to him, and she was so happy and honored (yeah), it was awesome. he was probably a little more articulate, but it meant so much to both of them, and that's pretty cool. plus, angelina jolie looked wicked pissed.
best picture: slumdog millionaire (dude! this movie's sweeping everything! and i heard that if it wins an oscar for best picture, then it'll be one of the first british films to do so in a looooong time)
