Awards Season 2019: Critics' Choice Movie Award Winners


Last night (13th January), the Critics' Choice Awards were handed out. Here's a full list of film winners:

Best Picture: Roma

Best Actor: Christian Bale (Vice)

Best Actress: Glenn Close (The Wife) and Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born) (tie)

Best Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali (Green Book)

Best Supporting Actress: Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk)

Best Acting Ensemble: The Favourite

Best Director: Alfonso Cuaron (Roma)

Best Animated Feature: Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse

Best Original Screenplay: First Reformed

Best Adapted Screenplay: If Beale Street Could Talk

Best Comedy: Crazy Rich Asians

Best Actor In A Comedy: Christian Bale (Vice)

Best Actress In A Comedy: Olivia Colman (The Favourite)

Best Action Movie: Mission: Impossible - Fallout

Best Sci-Fi/Horror Movie: A Quiet Place

Best Foreign Language Film: Roma

Best Score: First Man

Best Song: 'Shallow' (A Star Is Born)

Best Production Design: Black Panther

Best Editing: First Man

Best Costume Design: Black Panther

Best Hair & Makeup: Vice

Best Visual Effects: Black Panther

Best Cinematography: Roma

Best Young Actor/Actress: Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade)


Roma was the big winner of the night with four awards, whilst Vice and Black Panther took home three apiece (and Vice winning two awards for Christian Bale's performance as Dick Cheney). 

In terms of the acting awards, Golden Globe winners continue their streak (and take another step towards the Oscars) - although, sadly, Olivia Colman may get overshadowed when the awards body doesn't separate comedy and drama as the momentum is certainly behind Glenn Close at the moment. In other categories, nothing seems massively controversial. I was pleased with the wins for Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, 'Shallow', and A Quiet Place (in a bit of a oh-that's-nice kind of way). 

Congratulations to all winners!

So, next up with awards season, it's the PGA Awards this coming Friday (19th January) so I'll do a quick post about that over the weekend.
