Guy Pearce in Kathryn Bigelow's acclaimed drama "The Hurt Locker."
Oscar underdog "The Hurt Locker" dominated this year's Boston Society of Film Critic's year ends awards winning Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Editing and Best Cinematography.
Not as surprising, Mo'Nique and Christoph Waltz pulled out wins in the Best Supporting categories for "Precious" and "Inglourious Basterds" respectively. Some pleasant surprises included "Star Trek" tying "Precious" for Best Ensemble and "District 9's" Neill Blomkamp winning for Best New Filmmaker.

My favorite WWII movie is Saving Private Ryan, primarily because of my father's service during that war. You can read more about Dad at this website: http://www.asalutetopatriotism.com
