On the same day as the nominations for this year's Academy Awards ceremony were revealed, the latest instalment of the ongoing awards season went by at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California, where the 19th annual Critic's Choice Awards honoured the cast and crew of some of last's year's biggest and best films.
Gravity soared to success at the Critic's Choice Awards
The big winner on the night was the space thriller Gravity, which soared to success with seven wins by the end of the night. Among it's credits the film earned Alfonso Cuarón the award for Best Director and the award for Best Editing, shared with co-editor Mark Sanger. The film also earned Sandra Bullock the award for Best Actress In An Action Movie and was crowned as crowned the Best Sci-Fi/Horror Movie. The film also scored recognition for Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography and Best Score.
The top prize of Best Picture was witheld for the harrowing 12 Years A Slave, which furthered it's chances of Oscar glory with it's latest awards credit. The film won a further two awards, earning Lupita Nyong'o recognition as Best Supporting Actress and John Ridley for Best Adapted Screenplay.

The two main acting awards went to two other favourites for Oscar success: Cate Blanchett and Matthew Mcconaughey. Blanchett's role in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine has been universally acclaimed since the film's release last year, whilst McConaughey has been regularly cited as giving the performance of his career in Dallas Buyer Club.

The wins for the two mirrored the success of the two actors on Sunday, 12 Jan. when they both tasted success at the Golden Globes and it wasn't just in the acting categories where the success stories of Sunday night were emulated, and it is unlikely to be the last either. The latest win for McConaughey and Blanchett continues to prove their credentials as Oscar favourites, although there are a few thespians looking to stand in their way.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Amy Adams serve as their main rivals (as does Chiwetel Ejiofor in the male category), as they emulated their Golden Globes success with wins for Best Actor and Best Actress in a Comedy film, respectively. DiCaprio's portrayal of Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street earned Martin Scorsese's controversial film it's only win of the night, whereas Adam's starring vehicle American Hustle ended the night as one of the most decorated films, earning wins for Best Comedy, Best Acting Ensemble and Best Hair & Make-up.
