London Critics Award Winners

The London Critics Association handed out their awards last night and their honors weren't a major departure from the critics stateside. With the exception of no Heath Ledger and big love to David Fincher and Steve McQueen, it's pretty close to what we've come to expect this award season: Slumdog, Mickey Rourke, Kate Winslet, rinse, repeat.
