	The Los Angeles Film Critics Association - Awards 2003
		The Los Angeles Film Critics Association, of which yours truly is a member, voted Saturday to cancel its awards for 2003.
		The cause was the Motion Picture Association of America’s decision to ban screeners (video and DVD editions of the year’s film releases) from distribution to voters in the Motion Picture Academy and the various critics organizations which award annual prizes.
		While no critic would dispute the right of a filmmaker to withhold his or her film from such distribution, the problem is that the major studios are using their muscle to make it a blanket prohibition.

		LOS ANGELES (AP) — American Splendor, a film biography starring Paul Giamatti as grouchy comic-book writer Harvey Pekar, was picked as the best picture of 2003 by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
