‘Room’ star Jacob Tremblay accepts Critics’ Choice Award with adorable speech

Nine-year-old Jacob Tremblay had the “best day” of his life at the Critics’ Choice Awards on Sunday (Jan. 17) thanks to scoring the award for Best Young Actor/Actress for his powerful performance in Room.

“Mad Max: Fury Road” has a leading 13 nominations.

The film has been nominated for four Academy Awards, including best actress, best director and best picture.

Spotlight, directed by Tom McCarthy, was named the Best Picture at the event.

But it was Spotlight’s night. Just last week he posted pictures of himself with a number of huge Hollywood stars at the Golden Globes before having a lightsaber battle with Star Wars actor Oscar Isaac at the after party. He said, “Thank you such a great amount for the grant, I’m sad I couldn’t have been there in individual”, before including its a “Totally mind blowing honor, it implies such a great amount to us”. “He is a genius”. Many movies, television series, actors and actresses received awards, whereas in other award shows, they barely got any recognition. In the comedy arena it was “Master of None” that won the top prize, while “Mr. Robot” won Best Drama Series.

Amy Schumer got the Best Actress in a Comedy award for her role in “Trainwreck”, and she also took the Critics’ Choice MVP Award. 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.

Best Director: George Miller, “Mad Max: Fury Road”. Alicia Vikander also finally picked up some hardware, for Best Supporting Actress for The Danish Girl.

“I am plus-plus-size actress Amy Schumer”, she began to the roaring laughter of the audience.

“Inside Out” bagged the award in the animated feature category while best sci-fi/horror movie trophy went to “Ex Machina”.

Best Song: Wiz Khalifa for “See You Again” from “Furious 7”.

For television, “Mr. Robot” got several awards, including Best Drama Series. Blanchett is up for best actress; Mara for supporting actress.

Jeffrey Tambor accepts the award for best actor in a comedy series for Transparent.
