 | | New York, NY (September 22, 2006) - Chairman Marshall Fine announced today that the New York Film Critics Circle will vote on their annual film awards on Monday, December 11th. |
 | | Special stand-alone awards are also given to individuals and organizations that have made substantial contributions to the art of cinema, including producers, directors, actors, writers, critics, historians, film restorers and service organizations. |
 | | The Circle's awards are also viewed -- perhaps more accurately -- as a principled alternative to the Oscars, honoring esthetic merit in a forum that is immune to commercial and political pressures. |
