Last week, we rolled out our Most Redeeming Movies of 2010.
This week, it’s our Critics’ Choice Awards, in which we recognize those films that our panel believes were the best movies of the year as movies, whether they carried a redeeming message or not.
Seven of the choices also appear on our Most Redeeming list. All are superb films, and many of them will bring home multiple honors at this month’s Academy Awards.
