Boston Society of Film Critics Awards tonight

Marwencol

After you've attended the Boston Society of Film Critics Annual Awards ceremony, the Oscars might seem anticlimactic. Among those expected at this year's extravaganza is Jeff Malmberg, winner of the society's Best Documentary and Best Newcomer awards for his brilliant, sui generis film Marwencol, which will screen after the event. Among the other treats: a video especially made for the occasion by Best Supporting Actress Juliette Lewis (for Conviction), and several local film critics making the most of their few minutes on stage. Preceded by a reception at the Casablanca at 5:30, the ceremony takes place at the Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | January 30 @ 7 pm | $15; $10 students | 617.876.6837 or brattlefilm.org.
