While some are still focusing extensively on the movies that got snubbed at The Oscars, The Critics’ Choice Awards definitely gave honors to some of those in that are making that snubbed list.

Birdman did take Best, Actor, Best Score, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Acting Ensemble, and Best Original Screenplay and Grand Budapest Hotel took Best Comedy, Best Art Direction, and Best Costume Design as the frontrunners.

However, Jenny Slate took home the trophy for Best Actress for her performance in Obvious Child.

The Guardians of the Galaxy and The LEGO Movie also got the awards for Best Action Movie and Best Animated Movie respectively.

So, we’re glad that The Critics’ Choice Movie Awards gave some distinction to folks that otherwise would be ignored by a certain Academy.

Of all the nominations that have been announced in this current awards season, it seems the Writers Guild Awards has gone a somewhat different and refreshing direction. Already, they have Transparent, Last Week Tonight, and Inside Amy Schumer nominated for TV.

Grand Budapest Hotel is an awards front runner and gets a nod here, but Guardians of The Galaxy, a big budget studio comic book space adventure with plenty of comedy injected throughout, also gained a nomination from the WGA for Adapted Screenplay today.

Guardians of The Galaxy isn’t nominated in such a category in any other awards so far. Maybe, that will change now and other movies that are more readily described as “fun” will be taken more seriously by various academies and associations?
