Los premios de la crítica de los Estados Unidos 2010: Houston

La asociación de críticos de Houston incluye más categorías y nominados (y una categoría para peor película), y entre los cinco que quedaron para el premio a mejor película extranjera de 2010 está «El secreto de sus ojos», de Juan José Campanella, que se estrenó allí este año, pese a que el Oscar corresponde al año pasado.

Los candidatos a mejor película (salvo la sorpresiva aparición de «Kick-Ass») son, más o menos, casi todos los que seguramente estarán nominados al Oscar en esta categoría. Imagino que por ser Texas, «True Grit» (Temple de acero), el western de los hermanos Coen, tuvo más nominaciones que en otras agrupaciones de críticos. Y lo mismo sucede con «127 horas», de similar escenario, si bien transcurre en Utah.

Sin más preámbulos, entonces, las nominadas. En breve estarán los premios de Los Angeles, cuestión de diferencia horaria nomás…
