The 20th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards - Updated Winners

I always manage to forget about the Critics' Choice Awards, but I noticed they were airing tonight, January 15, so I figured, let's jump on board! I think I'll watch them, so I may be liveblogging - keep an eye on this post for updated winners!

UPDATED WITH WINNERS

BEST PICTURE
Birdman, or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
Boyhood
Gone Girl
The Grand Budapest Hotel
The Imitation Game
Nightcrawler
Selma
The Theory of Everything
Unbroken
Whiplash

BEST ACTOR
Benedict Cumberbatch - The Imitation Game
Ralph Fiennes - The Grand Budapest Hotel
Jake Gyllenhaal - Nightcrawler
Michael Keaton - Birdman, or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
David Oyelowo - Selma
Eddie Redmayne - The Theory of Everything

That's the second win for Michael Keaton tonight! I'm thinking an Oscar is likely. But Benedict and Eddie are still in the running, to me, especially considering the different voters that the Oscars have. This is going to be interesting.

BEST ACTRESS
Jennifer Aniston - Cake
Marion Cotillard - Two Days, One Night
Felicity Jones - The Theory of Everything
Julianne Moore - Still Alice
Rosamund Pike - Gone Girl
Reese Witherspoon - Wild

Oh, Julianne's speech was beautiful - my favourite part was definitely when she thanked the other ladies nominated with her, and when she spoke about Alzheimer's. I think we've got a race between her and Felicity Jones, maybe? All these women are just so talented!

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR 
Josh Brolin - Inherent Vice
Robert Duvall - The Judge
Ethan Hawke - Boyhood
Edward Norton - Birdman, or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
Mark Ruffalo - Foxcatcher
J.K. Simmons - Whiplash

Patricia Arquette - Boyhood
Jessica Chastain - A Most Violent Year
Keira Knightley - The Imitation Game

BEST DIRECTOR
Wes Anderson - The Grand Budapest Hotel
Ava DuVernay - Selma
David Fincher - Gone Girl
Alejandro G. Inarritu - Birdman, or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
Angelina Jolie - Unbroken
Richard Linklater - Boyhood

I called this about two seconds before it was announced. I think Richard Linklater's going to take home a ton of awards this season, as is Boyhood.

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
Birdman, or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance - Alejandro G. Inarritu, Nicholas Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris Jr., Armando Bo
Boyhood - Richard Linklater
The Grand Budapest Hotel - Wes Anderson, Hugo Guinness

BEST EDITING
Birdman, or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance - Douglas Crise, Stephen Mirrione
Boyhood - Sandra Adair
Gone Girl - Kirk Baxter
Interstellar - Lee Smith
Whiplash - Tom Cross

This was definitely one of the favourites; the film looks like it was filmed in one long, continuous take, which is an incredible feat of editing. I can't wait to see it for myself.

BEST COSTUME DESIGN
The Grand Budapest Hotel - Milena Canonero
Inherent Vice - Mark Bridges
Into the Woods - Colleen Atwood
Maleficent - Anna B. Sheppard
Mr Turner - Jacqueline Durran

I'm a little disappointed - I have a soft spot for Colleen Atwood, though. The costumes in Grand Budapest were pretty great, though.

BEST HAIR & MAKEUP
Foxcatcher
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
Into the Woods
Maleficent

BEST VISUAL EFFECTS
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Edge of Tomorrow
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
Interstellar 

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE
Big Hero 6
The Book of Life
The Boxtrolls
How to Train Your Dragon 2
The Lego Movie

I can't say I'm surprised - apparently, the Academy is the only one who missed the memo on this one. (I haven't seen it, but I'm basing it on what friends and people on Twitter have said, mostly.)


BEST ACTION MOVIE
American Sniper
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Edge of Tomorrow
Fury
Guardians of the Galaxy

BEST ACTOR IN AN ACTION MOVIE
Bradley Cooper - American Sniper
Tom Cruise - Edge of Tomorrow
Chris Evans - Captain America: The Winter Soldier

BEST ACTRESS IN AN ACTION MOVIE
Emily Blunt - Edge of Tomorrow
Scarlett Johansson - Lucy
Jennifer Lawrence - The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1
Zoe Saldana - Guardians of the Galaxy
Shailene Woodley - Divergent

This was a pleasant surprise! I wouldn't have expected this. Also, John Krasinski popping out to give her a kiss was adorable! And THANK YOU to Ms Blunt for mentioning that she finally wasn't a damsel in distress in an action film - it doesn't happen enough, and I hope she starts a trend.


BEST COMEDY
Birdman, or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
The Grand Budapest Hotel
St Vincent
Top Five
22 Jump Street

BEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY
Jon Favreau - Chef
Ralph Fiennes - The Grand Budapest Hotel

BEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY
Rose Byrne - Neighbors
Rosario Dawson - Top Five
Melissa McCarthy - St Vincent
Jenny Slate - Obvious Child
Kristen Wiig - The Skeleton Twins

I LITERALLY SQUEALED. I'm SO glad to see recognition for this film! Jenny Slate is hilariously amazing in Obvious Child, and has gotten absolutely no large scale recognition. The film is also so, so important, and such an excellent discussion and realistic portrayal of abortion. It's amazing.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Interstellar
Snowpiercer
Under the Skin

BEST SCORE 
The Imitation Game - Alexandre Desplat

Gone Girl - Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross
Birdman, or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance - Antonio Sanchez
Interstellar - Hans Zimmer

I really loved Gone Girl's score, so I'm a bit disappointed, but at least they were nominated. They haven't been up for any other awards. But maybe I just don't know anything about music! (Oh, well.)

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER (MVP) - New Award 2015 
Jessica Chastain

MY QUEEN! I was very excited to hear this, and that SPEECH. Her speech, completely calling out the lack of diversity in Hollywood, was so important, and so eloquently said. What a woman.
