Lists and awards, 1/9.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? "Did you know that the Kansas City Film Critics Circle is the second oldest critics group in the country?" asks Scott Weinberg at Cinematical. "Yep, they've been voting for their favorites since 1966, which is when they gave Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? their highest accolade." This year, they're going for There Will Be Blood.

Slant's Ed Gonzalez posts the 2007 Online Film Critics Society winners. Picture: No Country for Old Men.

Saluting the "Best Acting of 2007" (Female and Male), PopMatters opens a three-day frenzy: "The Best TV, Film, and DVD of 2007."

"It says something about 2007's cinematic offerings that even I Know Who Killed Me, the movie that seems to leap to everybody's mind when the year's worst is mentioned, had exciting baggage waiting to be unpacked," writes Fernando F Croce. His #1's a tie: Death Proof and There Will Be Blood.

Music, books and, yes, movies. A delightful list from Kenji Fujishima at the House Next Door.

"The A-Z of cinema," compiled by Horatia Harrod and Marianna Walker for the Telegraph, counts 26 ways we still love the theatrical experience. Pretty nifty stuff, actually, via Ryan Stewart at Cinematical.

Art Fag City's best and worst of the Web.
