Who Won 13th Annual Critics Choice Awards?
Jan 7, 2008
The 13th Annual Critics Choice Awards were held January 7, 2008 in Santa Monica, California. "No Country For Old Men" was the biggest winner with three awards including Best Picture. Winning two awards each were "Hairspray", "Juno", and "There Will Be Blood". The Writers Guild of America strike was still going on, but the Critics Choice Awards weren't covered by guild contracts and therefor not affected as harshly as other awards shows. "Into the Wild" had the most nominations going in with seven, but was shut out.
