And we're off...

The Oscar race is officially underway, although some would argue it began the moment Ellen DeGeneres said good night at last year's show. Anyways, the reason why the most consider the race to have begun now is because the first credible year end awards were released. Just for comparison sake, four of last year's five Best Picture nominees were listed as one of the top films by this organization. Here are the individual awards they gave, along with their list of top films...

Best Actress: Julie Christie (Away From Her)

Best Supporting Actor: Casey Affleck (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford)

Best Supporting Actress: Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone)

They also listed ten other top films from 2007. Here they are in alphabetical order:
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Atonement, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Bucket List, Into the Wild, Juno, The Kite Runner, Lars and the Real Girl, Michael Clayton, and Sweeney Todd.
