'Spotlight' team takes the winners' stage
The BFCA gave out their insanely high number of statuettes last night. Is there a world in which any awards show needs to give out 51 trophies? More than half of them didn't air on the show. But they slobbered all over Mad Max, handing it every tech award and Best Director, but not Best Picture, which they gave to Spotlight, which won just one other award for Screenplay. Those cowardly, cowardly "critics." These are not real critics by the way, they're movie bloggers and video interviewers mostly. And their number one goal is trying to predict what wins the Oscar, so they don't even have the guts to stick with what was clearly their favorite movie. These awards mean nothing to the Oscar race- it's still totally up in the air until the PGA next weekend. Still between Spotlight, Big Short, Revenant and Mad Max. No one has any idea what the industry prefers yet. The best moment of the night was Jacob Tremblay's adorable acceptance speech for Best Young Actor- the rest of the show was an embarrassing mess as usual.
