Damien Chazelle’s musical “La La Land,” topped the 22nd Annual Critics Choice Awards with eight wins, including awards for Best Film, Best Director and a tie for Best Screenplay (tied with Kenneth Lonergan for “Manchester by the Sea”) for Damien Chazelle, Best Cinematography to Linus Sandgren, Best Production Design, Best Editing, Best Song for “City of the Stars,” and Best Score to Justin Hurwitz. This film is clearly an early favorite to have many wins throughout award season and has an excellent chance of sweeping the Oscars.

“Jackie” and “Manchester by the Sea” won three honors each. Natalie Portman won the Best Actresss honors for portraying First Lady Jaqueline Kennedy in "Jackie" and the film won honors for Best Costumes to Madeline Fontaine and Best Hair & Makeup. Casey Affleck won the Best Actor honors for the drama “Manchester by the Sea.” The film also took home honors for Best Young Actor to Lucas Hedges and Best Original Screenplay (tie).

“Arrival,” which had garnered 10 nominations, won two awards – one for Best Adapted Screenplay to Eric Heissere and Best Sci-Fi/Horror Movie.

The independent hit “Moonlight,” also won two awards. The film won Best Supporting Actor to Mahershala Ali and Best Acting Ensemble.

Viola Davis won the award for Best Supporting Actress for the film “Fences.” And what was one of the most emotional part of the evening, Davis was the first yearly honoree by the Critics Choice Awards for the new award titled the See Her Award. This award is presented to an actress that most accurately portrays women on the screen.

Mel Gibson’s film “Hacksaw Ridge,” took home two honors, winning the awards for Best Action Movie and Best Actor in an Action Movie to Andrew Garfield.

Best Visual Effects honors were bestowed upon the film “The Jungle Book,” and Best Animated Feature went to “Zootopia.”

Best Actress in an Action Movie was given to Margot Robbie for her role in “Suicide Squad.” “Deadpool” won honors for Best Comedy and  Best Actor in a Comedy to Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds also was honored with the Entertainer of the Year Award, sponsored by Entertainment Magazine.

Best Actress in a Comedy honors were given to Meryl Streep, who did not attend the ceremony. Best Foreign Language Film was given to the French drama “Elle.”

The Critics Choice Awards aired on A&E television and was hosted by actor/comedian T.J. Miller (“Silicon Valley”). The awards show also honored the best in television for the year.
