Not another movie list

This time of year - post Golden Globe nominations, pre-Oscar nominations - can get a little daffy for movie fans. The critics groups are churning out their awards with alacrity, so much so that their lists threaten to merge into one big globule of gravitas.

That's why the Alliance of Women Film Journalists' awards makes me grin (hat tip - Hollywood Elsewhere).

Sure, they nominate films in the usual areas, but they also sneak in some tricky categories the others won't touch.
