Film critic Geoff Carter and the Las Vegas Sun have been honored with a national first-place award for arts and entertainment criticism by the American Association of Sunday and Features Editors.

Carter's work was honored in Division I, which covers newspapers across the country with circulations up to 75,000. He was cited for his reviews of "3,000 Miles To Graceland," "The Mexican" and "Vanilla Sky." The full list of annual award-winners was posted on the Internet at aasfe.org on Tuesday.

Carter, whose movie reviews appeared in the Sun from February 2001 until June of this year, has left the paper to move to Seattle, where he will work as a free-lance writer. His work will appear in Las Vegas Weekly, owned by Greenspun Media Group.
