The 2001 film awards season has taken on a very interesting trend. The Los Angeles, New York, and Boston Film Critics, as well as the nominees for the first ever AFI Awards, are skewing more towards the smaller independent productions of 2001, while the films and names we've been discussing for months as Oscar contenders are being mostly ignored. How will this shape the Oscar race? Recaps of all the major precursors this week, plus my take on the film awards season thus far.
