Jan 6th 2003: OFCS Awards for 2002

I’ve just received E-mail about On-line Film Critics Society Awards for 2002. The “official” announcement for media is going to be later this day, but those who bother to read this blog are going to get it first:

I must say that I’m not particularly surprised nor upset over none of my favourites (except Y Tu Mama Tambien) winning. I actually had great difficulty taking the part in the whole process because very few of the official nominees actually made to Croatian cinemas in 2002. That happened even with the winner. Croatian distributor made last-minute decision to postpone the national premiere for January. Apparently, they thought that they could have milked more cash from kids watching Harry Potter. And if something like Lord of the Rings receives such treatment you could only imagine what happens with obscure, “independent”, “artsy” or non-American titles…
