This is Anna Paquin's first win this season, although it was also one of her first (and only) nominations. Finally, Olivia Colman has a win to her name - not just for her brilliant performance in Tyrannosaur but also for The Iron Lady, in which she was very good also, and I'm as pleased as ever to see Michael Fassbender win. It's also great to see such love for A Separation, which they nominated for both Best Picture and Director. They've also announced a Top 10 for Best Picture, whereas previously we only knew five nominees (which are, obviously, their top five). And it's a Top 10 I love! And Maria Djurkovic highly deserves that Production Design award. Good choices overall!

Nominations are here.

P.S. These are the last critics' awards of the season! I'll have full results up soon! :)
