girls rock !!

Singer Katy Perry was one of the star guests at the 14th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards on January 8, 2009 in Santa Monica, California. Although the majority of the winners and nominations seemed to be following this year’s party line of the critics - Slumdog Millionaire, etc - on the female side of the ledger the field was more open.

In fact, there was a tie for Best Actress and the other nominees were perhaps the strongest for a few years:

Winner (tie):
Anne Hathaway - Rachel Getting Married
Meryl Streep - Doubt
Nominees:
• Kate Beckinsale - Nothing But the Truth
• Cate Blanchett - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
• Angelina Jolie - Changeling
• Melissa Leo - Frozen River

The winner for Best Supporting Actress was well deserved, although again this category presented a really strong field:

Winner: Kate Winslet - The Reader
Nominees:
• Penelope Cruz - Vicky Cristina Barcelona
• Viola Davis - Doubt
• Vera Farmiga - Nothing But the Truth
• Taraji P. Henson - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
• Marisa Tomei - The Wrestler

The selection for Best Song is interesting to us with the inclusion of Miley Cyrus as we may see a lot more from this aspiring songwriter (oh, and singer and actress):

Winner: The Wrestler (performed by Bruce Springsteen, written by Bruce Springsteen) from the film The Wrestler
Nominees:
• Another Way to Die (performed by Jack White and Alicia Keys, written by Jack White) from the film Quantum of Solace
• Down to Earth (performed by Peter Gabriel, written by Peter Gabriel and Thomas Newman) from the film Wall-E
• I Thought I Lost You (performed Miley Cyrus and John Travolta, written by Miley Cyrus and Jeffrey Steele) from the film Bolt
• Jaiho (performed by Sukhwinder Singh, written by A.R. Rahman and Gulzar) from the film Slumdog Millionaire
