The Critics' Choice Awards, presented by the Broadcast Film Critics Association, honor the best in film in 17 categories. "Milk" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" lead nominees with eight each. The ceremony will air live on VH1.
The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) announced today that internationally renowned actor Richard Gere will be presented with the second annual Joel Siegel Award on Thursday, January 8, 2009 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium during the 14th annual Critics' Choice Awards ceremony, which will air Live on VH1 at 9:00 PM (ET/PT).
Given annually, this special award pays homage to beloved "Good Morning America" film critic and BFCA member Joel Siegel, who lost his long struggle with cancer in June, 2007.
An accomplished advocate for human rights, Gere was the Co-founder and Chairman of Tibet House and joined the Board of Directors of the International Campaign for Tibet to more effectively address both national and international forums of influence. Second only to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Richard is the foremost public spokesman for the Tibetan crisis in forums from the United Nations to the United States Congress. He is a longtime sponsor of amfAR, Amnesty International, Survival International and Human Rights Watch. He has also focused on the battle against AIDS, working with the Kaiser Family Foundation, the Naz Foundation and the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. He launched the Heroes Project in 2002 in partnership with the Avahan AIDS Initiative of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Ugh, I just hope the amazing and hip "Jaiho" from Slumdog Millionaire can trump the predicted wins from the generic sounding "Down to Earth" or obvious Springsteen stuff with "The Wrestler".

Virtually no one outside of some people on this site will pay any attention to who wins these irrelevant awards.
They will get almost no coverage in the LA and trade press.
They will have no bearing on who wins the Oscars.
As usual.
I predict they will get their most coverage on quick TV "news" segments that will tout them as an important precursor to the Oscars. Then they'll be forgotten as fast as you can say Golden Globes.
