Prior to this weekend, the race for Best Picture was down to four films. After the Globes and the Critics’ Choice Awards, it may only be down to two. Avatar took home both Best Director and Best Motion Picture – Drama at the Globes tonight. On Friday, The Hurt Locker took Picture and Director. Sure, we say these are just critics groups.

There was only one instance in the past 10 years when the BFCA’s Critics’ Choice Awards Best Picture winner didn’t go home with the Best Picture trophy at the Oscars. That was in 2004 when Sideways beat the eventual Best Picture Oscar winner Million Dollar Baby. Now that The Hurt Locker has won the Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best Picture, do we finally have a frontrunner for the Best Picture Oscar? Or is this another critics’ darling that won the award during a foggy season? We’re all pretty certain that Kathryn Bigelow is going to walk away with the Best Director Oscar already.
