Critics’ Choice Awards 2016: Jacob Tremblay melts hearts with incredible

Jacob Tremblay has set a new benchmark when it comes to cute acceptance speeches. This also included his performances in Legend, London Road and The Revenant also won Best Motion Picture Drama at the Golden Globes and at long last Leonardo DiCaprio tipped for an Oscar for the same film.

“Spotlight” and “The Big Short” were the next titles to dominate the winners list with three gongs apiece.

Spotlight, about Boston Globe reporters uncovering a Catholic Archdiocese child molestation scandal, won Best Picture while Miller’s directing win helps his Oscar chances against Inarritu. It is nominated for best actress (Blanchett), supporting actress (Mara), cinematography, costume design and adapted screenplay.

Somewhere during the walk to the stage after winning best actress in a comedy, Amy Schumer broke one of her high heels. “It must be a super hard vote because of all the other great actors in this category”, he said.

Host T.J. Miller, who stars on the HBO show “Silicon Valley” hosted the show, which straddles a delicate line of irreverence and sincerity. He immediately thanked director Ryan Coogler and co-star Michael B Jordan.

Ansari, however, lost out in the best actor in a comedy series award to Jeffrey Tambor, who stars as a transgender, divorced, mother/father in the Amazon show Transparent. Sly had been roundly criticized for not acknowledging either of them at the Golden Globes, although he apparently did, after his mic was turned off.

As predicted Brie Larson picked up the award for Best Actress for her work in “Room”.

Ex Machina, Inside Out and Amy bagged the Best Sci-Fi/Horror Movie, Best Animated Feature and Best Documentary Feature respectively.

Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s hit “See You Again” gave “Furious 7” a prize for Best Song, and Best Score went to Ennio Morricone for Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight”.

The best TV drama series prize went to hacker thriller Mr Robot, while the show’s star Rami Malek was named best actor in a TV drama and co-star Christian Slater best supporting actor.

Best Actress in a Comedy Series: Rachel Bloom, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”.

Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series: Andre Braugher, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”.
