The Hurt Locker, Up in the Air, Inglorious Basterds, Avatar ... It's my first year voting. There is a 0.01% chance that I will listen to your opinion over mine. But, I'm saying there is a chance. So, what would you vote for? The Critics' Choice Awards air on VH-1 on January 15. I will post my voting ballot then. If you had a vote, where would it go?

Avatar might get my visual votes, but nothing else. My personal sadness is the exclusion of Away We Go.
