TheHurtLockerBigelowALP12-14-09

The Alliance of Women Film Journalists is a relatively new critics organization with only a few years of awards to their credit. Still, it does give us another group of winners to look at, and yet another reason why The Hurt Locker is poised to be a lock for a Best Picture nominee as it won the group’s Best Picture Award.

The other good thing about this group? They have dozens of funny awards that incisively point out sexism in Hollywood – always a good thing.
