Chicago Film Critics Winners

Once again, a pretty standard list as Bale, Portman, and Firth continue their runs. Derek Cianfrance finally gets some love for Blue Valentine, and Inception takes another original screenplay award. I'm starting to think this is the way that they can honor Nolan and Fincher at the same time, by giving one the Director and one Screenplay.
