* Well done, LVFCS, for looking up Prometheus' supervising art director on IMDb. Methinks, though, that you were looking for their production dsigner, Arthur Max, who is responsible for the set design on Prometheus. Just because the Oscars call(ed) that category 'Best Art Direction' does not mean it's actually for art direction.

Proof that the Las Vegas critics don't get to the movies very often, they once again shower one film with awards, and the dregs are distributed out between the frontrunners in other categories. They like Life of Pi, obviously, which may be a good thing, although they also liked Frost/Nixon a few years back, and that's not. No other details beyond winners for most categories, but it's easy enough to tell where their tastes lay, as they've included a Best Picture Top 10, which I always appreciate.
