Phoenix Film Critics Society 2009 |
Phoenix isn't one of the better predectors generally but they normally do well in the Best Actor and Best Director categories. This gives Sean Penn and Danny Boyle another boost. In a category that Oscarpred doesn't cover fully as many critics societies do not reward it the Pheonix Society give a Best Costume award and this is a good indicator of the Oscar so The Duchess may well be the winner in February. |
