Awards Watch: Online Film Critics 2008

The winners of the Online Film Critics Society Awards have finally been revealed (although they are still not listed on the group's official website ... I guess they don't get "online" as often as their name suggests), and — not surprisingly — genre films reigned.

The superhero blockbuster The Dark Knight and the Swedish vampire flick Let the Right One In both scored the most, with four trophies each, including wins for directors Christopher Nolan and Tomas Alfredson and stars Heath Ledger and Lina Leandersson, respectively. However, the animated sci-fi hit WALL-E took the Best Picture honors, along with two other awards.

Other acting honors went to two indie faves, Wendy and Lucy's Michelle Williams and The Wrestler's Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei.
