Here are the Winners of the 2015 Critics Choice Awards

With all the craziness surrounding yesterday's Oscar nominations, it was easy to forget that another awards show was actually happening - last night in Los Angeles, the Broadcast Film Critics Association held their annual Critics Choice Awards. What's fun about these awards, besides the fact that they're voted on by many of my peers, is that there are a bunch of categories and they're totally unpredictable.



After all, they awarded Michael Keaton for his efforts in "Birdman" twice last night, and gave the Best Foreign Language Film ("Force Majeure"), Best Documentary ("Life Itself"), Best Screenplay ("Gone Girl") and Best Animated Feature ("The Lego Movie") to films that the Academy ignored altogether. These awards are more in line with our sensibilities (and, probably, with yours) than the crusty Oscar voters. This is an awards show that handed a trophy to Emily Blunt for her work in "Edge of Tomorrow" and Jenny Slate for performing in the under-seen gem "Obvious Child." Pretty great, no?
