There seems to be no other movie besides Spotlight, Fury Road or Carol that can win Best Picture with the critics this year. Their loyalties are split between those three critical darlings.
CHICAGO
Mad Max was obviously loved here, winning the top prizes along with many techs- I'm wondering if we could have a split BP/BD year in which Spotlight takes Best Picture but George Miller is awarded in director for his artistic achievment with Fury Road.

LAS VEGAS
The Vegas critics were more impressed by Spotlight this year, and you'll notice, after an early flirtation with Saoirse Ronan, the critics have now decided that Brie Larson is in fact, the one who should be winning Best Actress. I think you can thank the Golden Globes' dismissal of Brooklyn for that. Everyone likes to be right, and everyone is influenced by the preceding announcers, whether they admit it or not. But the category that's completely up in the air with not a single frontrunner or even guaranteed nominee seems to be Best Supporting Actor. Talk about a lack of consensus. That thing's all over the place. I'm personally hoping Stallone comes in and takes it- I'd love to see him at the podium, wouldn't you? Course, he has to get nominated first, which is the challenge.
