Critics Choice Awards 2016

TJ Miller hosted the first-ever combined Critics Choice film and television awards. I am not in any way objective because I’m a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association, but I think it is a great show and I’m very proud of our awards, even the ones that don’t reflect the way I voted.

Best acceptance speech of the night, maybe best ever, was Jacob Tremblay, our best youth performance winner for “Room.” The scene backstage with him meeting BB-8 was adorable, too. BB-8 was there for the special award for ILM, another highlight. I really appreciated the kind words from many of the awardees for the critics and the contribution we make in supporting their best work and bringing it to the attention of audiences.

The Oscar race comes into clearer view now with Leonardo DiCaprio, Sylvester Stallone, and “Spotlight” looking like probable winners.

Critics Choice Awards 2015

Posted on January 16, 2015 at 9:45 am

Sweetest moment of the Critics Choice Awards last night: when Emily Blunt was accepting her award for Best Actress in an Action/Sci-Fi Movie, her husband John Krasinski ran out from backstage, where he was waiting to present an award, to give her a congratulatory kiss. I also loved her comment that it was good to be in an action movie where she was not a damsel in distress. Other highlights included the special awards to “MVP” Jessica Chastain, for her work in four films in 2014, and to Kevin Costner and Ron Howard for their body of work. Chastain spoke movingly of the need for more diversity in filmmaking. Coster’s speech was a touching tribute to the unsung heroes of the film work, the crew who make it possible. And Ron Howard was inspiring in his fearless engagement with changing technologies and distribution systems.

The most satisfying part was that on the same day that the Oscars snubbed some of my most-loved films, performers, and directors of 2014, the Broadcast Film Critics came through. “The LEGO Movie” won best animated film and “Life Itself” won best documentary.  It was wonderful to be back in the historic Hollywood Palladium and we were thrilled to be on the wonderful A and E Channel for the first time.  They took great care of us.

But the best part was enjoying the dazzling event, surrounded by glamorous stars, with my daughter, Rachel, a costume designer who works in Hollywood.  Here we are in our vintage gowns and furs.
