Mad Max: Fury Road dominated at the Critics’ Choice Awards. Is this a predictor of Oscar success?
The cast and crew of the acclaimed post-apocalyptic action movie took home 9 awards at the Critics’ Choice Awards last weekend out of 54 total awards. This event is special in that it has several genre-specific awards, but that only helped the movie look even better.
Out of the big awards, Fury Road won Best Director for George Miller. It also won Best Production Design and Film Editing. For more technical awards, it won Best Costume Design and Best Visual Effects.
For the genre-specific awards, it handily won Best Action Movie. Even further, though, Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron won Best Actor in an Action Movie and Best Actress in an Action Movie. There is no stunt category, sadly, so Fury Road couldn’t sweep that award.
While the Critics’ Choice Awards aren’t the absolute most accurate predictors for Oscars, it certainly doesn’t hurt to win.
