The BFCA announces its 2008 winners

The Broadcast Film Critics Association Thursday announced the winners of its 2008 awards. For the record, I vote in this election, and although the outcome doesn't totally reflect my sentiments, I thought I'd share the final results. Note the tie between Meryl Streep ("Doubt") and Anne Hathaway ("Rachel Getting Married") for best actress, and buckle up for the rest of the awards season, which culminates with Oscar night on Sunday, Feb. 22.
