21st Annual Critics Choice Awards: Mad Max Slays ‘Em

18th January 2016

By Last Caress.

The 21st annual Critics Choice Awards

– often seen as a good indicator towards the likely results at February’s Academy Awards ceremony –

took place last night in California and saw Mad Max: Fury Road (Miller, 2015) sweep all before it, taking nine awards including Best Director for George Miller. This year’s awards season favourite The Revenant (Iñárritu, 2015) took the nods for Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Cinematography (Emmanuel Lubezki).

Last night’s ceremony was the first in which the Critic’s Choice movie awards were integrated with the TV awards ceremony.
