And so we wait til December 8th to see “Silence.” Let’s look at what we’ve got as of tonight. Of course “Silence” can change all of this, in a minute. But for purposes of the Critics Choice Awards– which may not get to include “Silence,” this is what it seems we’re working with. Stay tuned. A long weekend of screening DVDs is at hand. (PS the names are in order at all). THURS. 11PM UPDATE Michael Keaton is so good in “The Founder” you will never eat at McDonald’s again without thinking of him as Ray Kroc.
