2009 Southeastern Film Critics Awards

Just when it looked like The Hurt Locker was going to sweep every single critics award this season, The Southeastern Film Critics come in and throw Up In The Air an awards bone. Of course, Locker still finished second in the group’s poll, so it wasn’t a major loss for the Oscar front-runner and its director, Kathryn Bigelow, who took home another Best Director trophy.
