Critics Choice Movie Awards 2015 Nominees List


Richard Linklater‘s 12-years-in-the-making Boyhood strolled away with Best Picture and Best Director at the 20th Critics’ Choice Movie Awards tonight at the Hollywood Palladium.  Angelina and Jennifer came face to face at the 2015 Critics’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Jan. 15 and ended up having a ‘tense staredown.’ Jessica Chastain was honored with the first ever "MVP" award at the 20th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards on Thursday night (Jan. 15).

"Today is MLK's birthday. It got me thinking about the need to build the strength of diversity in our industry. And to stand together against homophobic, sexist, misogynistic, antisemitic and racist agendas," Chastain says, as the camera pans to the "Selma" table including Ava DuVernay and Oprah. "I'm an optimist and I can't help but feel hopeful about the future of film especially looking at all the beautiful people in this room."  See complete list after the cut

Responding for the first time to the firestorm of criticism over the lack of diversity in this year's Oscar nominations, film academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs says the all-white acting slate inspires her to accelerate the academy's push to be more inclusive. She also hopes the film industry as a whole will continue to strive for greater diversity.

The first black president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences spoke out Friday night in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press about the Oscar nominations and the widespread criticism that followed.

All 20 of this year's acting contenders are white and there are no women in the directing or writing categories. After the nominations were announced Thursday morning, the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite started trending on Twitter.

Ava DuVernay hasn’t had time to consider how she’s made history.

With her nomination Thursday for “Selma,” the 42-year-old became the first black woman on the short list for a Golden Globe director’s prize.

“I just turned in the film four weeks ago and now we’ve got nominations,” DuVernay said by phone from Toronto. “I haven’t had a real second to sit down and really think about it.”

“Selma” tells the story of Martin Luther King Jr. and his colleagues as they planned marches from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, to demand voting rights in 1965. It opens in theatres on Christmas.

The civil rights drama earned four nominations in all, including best actor for star David Oyelowo, best original song for Common and John Legend’s “Glory,” and best picture.

DuVernay and Oyelowo said they’ll celebrate by taking a planned trip to Washington, D.C., to show the film to members of Congress and present a special honour to Rep. John Lewis (D-Georgia), who is depicted in “Selma.”
