Close-Up

A Los Angeles Film Critics Association (LAFCA) anunciou os seus escolhidos de 2008. Tentem adivinhar o Melhor Filme... isso mesmo! Nada mais nada menos que o grande Wall•E! O feito ainda é mais engrandecido se considerarmos que o seu "runner-up" é The Dark Knight. Ou seja, dois filmes de géneros"atípicos" para o galardão maior. Um belo feito!

As surpresas foram até bastantes nesta entrega, por exemplo, a vitória de Sally Hawkins na categoria de Melhor Actriz com o seu bem-disposto Happy-Go-Lucky
