The recently concluded Critic’s Choice Awards hugely follows, for the most part, the list of winners from the Golden Globes. Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto still bagged the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor (Drama) respectively. Frozen is still Best Animated Feature Film both Amy Adams and Leonardo di Caprio are still Best Actor and Actress for the Comedy or Musical category.
There are actually a slew of similarities between the two awards night but the most significant win for the season was for ’12 Years a Slave’. The movie garnered several awards including Best Picture (the most prominent for the night), Best Supporting Actress for newcomer, Lupita Nyong’o and Best Adapted Screenplay for John Ridley. Not a bad turnout considering the film had a total of breathtaking 13 nominations.
American Hustle was also a huge success. With its 13 nominations as well and 4 wins, it was a phenomenal! The movie won Best Acting Ensemble, Best Makeup, Best Comedy and Best Supporting Actress. (as mentioned earlier).
The ever composed Cate Blanchett won- yet again an award and was most charming in her speech to her son. She thanked several people but turned to her son to quip and say to be thankful that ‘it is I and no Jasmine, who is your mother.’ (Jasmine is the character she plays in the film ‘Blue Jasmine’.) The reaction was hilarious.
The only let down for me, was the disposition of the host, Aisha Tyler. Perhaps it is because I am not a native English speaker, perhaps because I am not wholly familiar with the American culture, but I do think she was a sordidly boring host. She bombarded guests with tasteless jokes which nobody seemed to acknowledge. She would strike an occasional conversation with actors and actresses but never give her mic or allow other people to speak. One notable moment there was when she was with Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson – rattling off questions and never allowing Rita or Tom the benefit of answering.
But let’s not sour the event. The awards night was brilliant and the actors and actresses dashing and fabulous.See the complete list of the nominees and winners below. Now, onto the next awards – this morning, January 19, Philippine time.
