The Dallas-Fort Worth Critics have a unique way of announcing winners. No other group does it this way, so it’s always interesting to see. All categories are ranked in the order they were voted, not just the top ten. You get to see just how critics feel about certain films and performances this way. Of course, they aren’t a very large group, so it’s not that indicative, but it’s always interesting. Most of what we’ve heard showed up, though one new contender showed up where they haven’t previously: Jonah Hill in The Wolf of Wall Street.

These were announced a month ago (Dec. 16, apparently), but Dallas’ website hasn’t been updated, nor had Wikipedia during that time.
