Award season has officially started!
The 16th annual Critics Choice Movie Awards took place at the Hollywood Palladium Friday night (Jan. 14). The winners for the 2011 Critics’ Choice Movie Awards were revealed: „The Social Network“ took home three big awards: Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, plus Best Score. The Fighter also scored several awards, including Best Acting Ensemble, Best Supporting Actor for Christian Bale and Best Supporting Actress for Melissa Leo.
„Inception“ was actually the most-awarded overall film, as it took home six technical awards. „The Fighter“ was honored in the acting category three times, with both Best Supporting awards and the Ensemble award. Natalie Portman and Colin Firth each took home the lead acting awards for „Black Swan“ and „The King’s Speech,“ respectively, which also won for Best Original Screenplay.
Traditionally, Critics Choice winners go on to nab the Oscars, so look for some similar winners in February at the Academy Awards.
