This morning, indieWIRE released the results of our first annual poll of film critics, providing a glimpse into the minds and tastes of film reviewers as we head into awards season (you can pick through the individual ballots of each critic to your heart's content.) 107 film critics with newspapers, alternate weeklies and online film sites participated, coordinated by Dennis Lim (who previously ran the Village Voice critic's poll) and Anthony Kaufman, both of whom provide wrap-ups among the meaty coverage that comes with the announcement.

Our thanks to all the reviewers and writers who participated ... and to the filmmakers and films who showed up anywhere on the list.
