The Alliance of Women Film Journalists like to get a little opinionated when it comes to their annual EDA Awards. This year, they gave their top honor of Best Film to Slumdog Millionaire and Best Director to Danny Boyle. And Kate Winslet (The Reader and Revolutionary Road) and Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky) tie for Best Actress. OK, got it.
But then we get Actress Most in Need Of A New Agent: Kate Hudson. And we can understand the ambivalence for Mamma Mia! and The Women tying for Movie You Wanted To Love But Just Couldn't. But we have to wonder about this one: Best Leap from Actress to Director Award going to Helen Hunt for Then She Found Me. OK, ladies. Time to explain.
