SPOTLIGHT DOMINATES THE SPIRIT AWARDS


Big news for Spotlight, as Tom McCarthy's film wins every Spirit Award it was nominated for. It achieves an easy victory over Carol, which had the most nominations, though tonight's results were far from disappointing on the diversity front: three people of colour and one trans person won acting awards, including two prizes for Beasts of No Nation. It's an encouraging step from Film Independent, although somewhat dismaying if one looks closer - these were the only main categories where Oscar contenders were not represented, and given their recent trend of consistently awarding Oscar nominees where nominated, I wonder if we'd have seen the same slate of winners had these fields not been empty of Oscar-nominated talent. Let's not dwell on negative suspicion, and let's celebrate positive facts: slight Carol shut-out aside, the Spirit Awards 2015 were almost certainly far superior to what tomorrow night's Oscars look destined to be.

Another critics group, another Best Picture win for Tom McCarthy's Boston Globe drama Spotlight. The Revenant wins three awards in other categories from the Houston Film Critics Society, including Best Director for Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, but the wins are generally very split - Leonardo DiCaprio actually loses Best Actor to Steve Jobs' Michael Fassbender, despite the obvious support for the former film, while there's a slightly surprising (but well deserved) victory in Supporting Actress for Carol's Rooney Mara! Hooray for that! Check out the HFCS' nominations at this link, and their award winners below:

BRIDGE OF SPIES AND CAROL ARE SHOCK LEADERS OF BAFTA NOMINATIONS


This awards season just won't sit still! Prior to today's BAFTA nominations announcement, one might have expected Mad Max: Fury Road or The Martian to lead; instead, all films trail none other than current awards season punching bag Carol and outside contender Bridge of Spies, both of which make nine appearances! And next in line is The Revenant with eight mentions! There were major absentees too, such as Spotlight's Tom McCarthy missing out on a Best Director nod; that was taken by Ridley Scott for The Martian, though its six nominations do not include one among the Best Film top five. And Mad Max is entirely absent from all above-the-line categories, just in case the Carol sweep was too much good news for one day. It was a highly surprising slate, then, and one which promises more surprises to come, both in the BAFTA race and in the Oscar race overall. Winners will be revealed on the 14th of February.

SPOTLIGHT WINS NATIONAL SOCIETY OF FILM CRITICS AWARD


The National Society of Film Critics shocked Oscar watchers today by announcing Tom McCarthy's Spotlight the best film of 2015. NSFC published its vote counts for its top three in each category, highlighting those unequivocal winners like Charlotte Rampling, Mark Rylance and Kristen Stewart in the acting categories, and the much closer races. Particularly tight was the Best Director race, while low figures in Best Actor go to show just how uncertain that category has been this year. There were welcome citations, like 2nd place for The Assassin's Lee Ping Bin in Cinematography, and less welcome ones, like Amy winning yet another Documentary prize with a no-show for The Look of Silence. Amy's win and Spotlight's were unusually mainstream picks for the normally arthouse-friendly society - last year, it chose Jean-Luc Godard's Goodbye to Language 3D. Have a look at all their picks for 2015 below:

REVIEW - SPOTLIGHT (TOM MCCARTHY)


Journalism falls under Tom McCarthy's Spotlight and rises up out of it, glorified for the power it possesses to shine its own light on truth and justice. It's a noble pursuit and a noble film, stoic and sober though not without lightness nor without passion - it's keenly aware of itself and the role it seeks to play, and McCarthy and Josh Singer's script skillfully avoids over-stressing its point. They're a smart pair, since their point is made so succinctly and so successfully as a result, yet perhaps at the expense of gravity - Spotlight is an intentionally slight film, stylistically plain, emotionally reserved, dedicated to an acute verisimilitude throughout, but the narrow breadth of its purview hinders it somewhat. The film is about a specific set of journalists at a specific time, but as interesting as the story it tells of them, the story that they're striving to tell is that bit more interesting, and Spotlight doesn't adequately acknowledge this. But what is to be gained in criticising a film for what it is not? What Spotlight is is deeply involving, that aforementioned verisimilitude achieved by calculated yet keen dialogue, the bread and butter of McCarthy's trade. He forms his film around words, be they written or spoken, and possesses a terrific understanding of their precise power. He constructs his film as a journalistic endeavour in itself, deploying patience and objectivity in uncovering one devastating detail after another. He takes shortcuts in his direction for negligible gains and sacrifices the sense of realism otherwise finely calibrated in his mise-en-scene - no bother, these are fleeting failures, themselves of negligible worth. This is an intelligent film made by intelligent people, and a noble one indeed.
