UPDATE: MORE OF THE 2014 MURIEL AWARDS BEST ENSEMBLE PERFORMANCE, BEST FILM OF 2004, BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY

Further Muriel Awards have been announced as the march toward the Best Film of the Year honors continues on.

The award for Best Ensemble Performance features a consideration by Kevin Cecil that is, if I may, grand.

In awarding the Muriel 10th Anniversary Award for the Best Film of 2004, writer Josh Bell teases out memories of a winner that shows "how happy endings and sad endings are often the same thing."

And my own piece on the Muriel winner for Best Cinematography suggests how the triumph of the movie's visual strategy "enriches his images with the totality of the world while slightly warping their contours, guides us toward an experience with the familiar as something oppressively, insinuatingly new."

Find out what movies won in these categories (there's a big hint on one of the hovering above) and read what we have to say about them at the Muriels Web site, Our Science is Too Tight. And stay tuned. There's much more to come.
