Attend this film event: Boston Society of Film Critic Awards @ the Brattle

Moneyball

Now in its fifth year, the Boston Society of Film Critics Awards continues to provide a homespun, quirky, surprising, moving, and funny alternative to all those other awards shows. This year they've snagged as a guest their Best Screenplay co-winner, Stan Chervin, co-writer of Moneyball, and will also be screening that terrific more-than-a-baseball movie starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, incidentally also nominated for a Best Picture and other Oscars. Other treats are planned, not the least of which being elegant BSFC member Joyce Kulhawik as mistress of ceremonies. The awards are on Saturday, February 4, the day's events start with a reception at Casablanca at 5:30 followed by the ceremony and screening at 7 pm at the Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | $15; $10 students awards + screening; $25; $20 students reception + awards + screening | 617.876.6837 or brattlefilm.org.
