It will be my privilege to present a
tribute to the late, great Harry Dean Stanton this Saturday, Jan. 6, at the 11th
annual Houston Film Critics Society Movie Awards. But don’t worry: There will
be more to the program than just my humble attempt to honor a legend.
The awards show — set to start at 7 pm
at the Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston (MATCH) in Downtown H-Town — will
be highlighted by the presentation of awards for excellence in 2017 movies. Nominees
in the Best Picture category include: The
Big Sick, Call Me By Your Name,
Dunkirk, The Florida Project, Get Out, Lady Bird, Logan, The Post, The Shape of Water and Three
Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
But wait,
there’s more: There will be silent auctions of movie memorabilia, extended
displays of clips from nominated films, and a tribute to local furniture store
mogul and philanthropist Jim McIngvale (who, no kidding, produced the 1991
action-comedy Sidekicks starring
Chuck Norris and Jonathan Brandis).
“Each year, the Houston
Film Critics Society follows a thorough screening process to identify the best
of the year’s films,” says HFCS president Joshua Starnes. “Our annual
awards ceremony lets us honor the best as we invite the community to celebrate
the magic of film.”
You can find
a full list of HFCS nominations here, more detail on the awards show program
here, and ticket ordering information here. And yes, I will be signing
autographs for a nominal fee. (OK, I made up that last part.)
