We’ve been inquiring about membership in this organization, and hopefully getting such will come to pass in the not too distant future.

Los Angeles and Boston  (as opposed to Boston Online) critics groups both announce their year-end picks today, so no doubt there will be plenty more critics’ group awards to come as the day goes on…stay tuned to PNR’s Red Carpet Monitor for all the news and winners as the weeks progress towards Oscar…
