There's something undeniably cool about the Critics Choice Awards being held at the Santa Monica Airport, where so many of the rich and famous park their planes. And with the golden sun setting upon the Barker Hangar, this year's 21st annual ceremony, hosted by 'Silicon Valley' star T.J. Miller, combined both the glamour of Hollywood with the inevitable crush of awards season, cramming in both TV and film accolades and running over three hours long.
Leonardo DiCaprio, an Oscar favourite for the gritty wilderness survival story ‘The Revenant,’ won best actor, broadcasting his acceptance speech from London, where he's promoting the film. Sharon Stone announced the best picture award, which went to ‘Spotlight’.
Brie Larson, who wasn't able to attend the event, won best actress for her heartbreaking turn in ‘Room’ and in the TV awards, Rami Malek nabbed best actor in a drama series for ‘Mr. Robot.’ ‘Mr. Robot’ also took home best drama, and Aziz Ansari's Netflix series ‘Master of None’ nabbed best comedy. “I'm so proud to be counted among such great actors,” Malek told the chatty crowd. “It's not just good to be different -- it's better to be different.”
