The Critics' Choice handed out their annual awards and gave "Spotlight" the Best Picture of the year. However, with Oscar nominations already announced does this organization affect the Oscar race? Here is a look at each category and how it could change the race.
With the Academy Award nominees having been announced most of the films will now be on the radar of moviegoers around the world. Many of the films will also get boosts at the box office due to expansions from their distributors and some of them even become box office hits. So how did the films fare after the nominations?
With the National Society of Film Critics already having handed out their annual awards, all eyes now turn to the Golden Globes. The race continues to be a mystery with no clear front-runner in four of the five major categories, especially with no critics society coming to a consensus.
This past weekend was a marathon for the Oscar race as four major precursors were handed out showcasing how divisive this awards competition is looking to be.
"Spotlight" is a powerful film that almost feels as if one is living the case out as the movie develops. It is a film that will be talked about long after audiences have left the theater and one that will definitely stir conversation.
