Critics' Choice snubs: 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,' Terrence Malick, Glenn Close

The Broadcast Film Critics Assn. has a solid track record at forecasting the eventual Oscar nominees with its Critics' Choice Awards contenders. Last year, the BFCA got nine of the 10 eventual Oscar Best Picture nominees (it went for "The Town" over "The Kids Are All Right") and 18 of the 20 acting contenders; they overlooked Javier Bardem ("Biutiful") and John Hawkes ("Winter's Bone").

Among the most notable snubs this year are: helmer Terrence Malick who just won the Los Angeles Film Critics Assn. Best Director prize for "The Tree of Life"; the women of "Albert Nobbs" (Glenn Close, Janet McTeer); the veteran actors in kid-themed films (Ben Kingsley, "Hugo"; Max Von Sydow, "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"); last year's darling David Fincher who helmed the winning "The Social Network" and returned with "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" which reaped just two techical bids; and the well-received "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" which features last year's Best Actor champ Colin Firth but was shut out.
