Miroslav Slaboshpitsky's The Tribe was runner-up in Foreign Language Film to Son of Saul, whose subtle leading turn from Géza Röhrig came in second to Michael Fassender's "Steve Jobs." Berlin Film Festival's Best Actress winner Charlotte Rampling took her first award season win for 45 Years, edging out NYFCC winner Saoirse Ronan. The big surprises came in the supporting categories with wins to Michael Shannon's ruthless property developer in 99 Homes (runner-up: Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies) and Alicia Vikander's artificial life-form in Ex Machina (runner-up: Kristen Stewart, Clouds of Sils Maria).
Amy won Best Documentary over The Look of Silence, and LAFCA chose Anomalisa over NYFCC winner Inside Out.
Boston
Also, handing out awards were the esteemed Boston Society of Film Critics. Very unsurprisingly, they chose Spotlight for their winner in picture and screenplay, even giving Todd McCarthy a runner-up mention in director, as well as handing the movie a second place for editing. Picture runner-up Mad Max: Fury Road won for editing. Instead of singling out Mark Ruffalo or Michael Keaton for acting, they figured the ensemble win would be enough (over The Big Short). Carol managed two wins for director and cinematography (Edward Lachman also won for Far From Heaven), as well as coming in second for screenplay. Mad Max: Fury Road, Carol, and Spotlight have been the three big winners thus far this season, and there was a great deal of other echoing from NBR/NYFCC/LAFCA. They went with NYFCC supporting actress winner Kristen Stewart (Clouds of Sils Maria), with LAFCA winner Alicia Vikander being the alternate (film(s) unspecified). NYFCC winner Mark Rylance won over NBR winner Sylvester Stallone for supporting actor. Like with LAFCA, Rampling won over Ronan. Paul Dano (Love & Mercy) and Leonardo DiCaprio (The Revenant) picked up their first wins of the season winning in a tie for Best Actor.
The Revenant's Emmanuel Lubezki (four-time winner, three of those in last five years) was also runner-up for Cinematography. Love & Mercy won for score over Creed. The group couldn't decide between Anomalisa and Inside Out, so they went with both, and gave Shaun the Sheep Movie a second-place mention. In Foreign Film, The Look of Silence won over White God, but Silence lost to Amy in Documentary.
Washington D.C.
Carol was nominated for several awards, but left out of Editing, as well as Picture. Also missing in Picture, The Martian was nominated for Director, Editing, Screenplay, and Actor. Brooklyn managed Picture, Screenplay, Actress and three techs, but nothing for Director. The Revenant missed in Screenplay and Production Design, but managed to land everywhere else, even getting a nod for Leonardo DiCaprio's supporting man Tom Hardy. Steve Jobs got five nominations: Actor, Supporting Actress, Ensemble, Screenplay, and Editing. The Hateful Eight scored three: Supporting Actress, Ensemble, and Score. Screenplay omission aside, the most love went to Mad Max: Fury Road, however. It appeared everywhere it could have been reasonably expected, even getting an additional Best Actress nod for Charlize Theron.
The group went their own way by nominating Sicario for picture in addition to three techs. They also gave Ex Machina citations for Director, Screenplay, and Supporting Actress Alicia Vikander, who was also nominated separately for The Danish Girl. They also gave special mentions to Sarah Silverman (I Smile Back), Paul Dano (Love & Mercy), Idris Elba (Beasts of No Nation), Amy Schumer (for screenwriting Trainwreck), and the cast of Straight Outta Compton.
