The Reel Society of Film Critics Awards Ceremony 2015
Posted: March 14th, 2015, 4:00 pm
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 2015 Reel Society Of Film Critics Awards, the ceremony that celebrates and honours the movies and actors that sought not just to ensure quality, but also to entertain each and every member of the fantaverse and beyond. All movies released during 2014 within the United States have been considered, and after a long and diligent process, the valued members of the committee have narrowed down the prestige of those movies to tonight's nominees. It is from these nominees that voting has been canvased, and tonight I will reveal the winners of each award.
Now, I took the initiative this year to delay the Awards from it's usual slot just prior to the Academy Awards. Now I took this decision for two reasons; one because it gave the committee an extra couple of weekends to see every movie that may have been up for consideration at every stage of voting, and two this is a better, more interesting award show! This is a ceremony for the Fantaverse, by the Fantaverse.
2014 was another spectacular year in cinema, from the visually stunning Interstellar, where Christopher Nolan has proved once again to be a master of 21st Century cinema, to success on a relatively smaller, rectangular scale in The LEGO Movie which delighted (and will continue to delight) audiences young and old. Former RS Best Picture winner Wes Anderson returned with his new movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel, which turned out to be his biggest yet, while David Fincher went back to his roots with the psycho-drama Gone Girl. After many years, we finally got to see a big budget movie featuring Martin Luther King in Selma, while taking almost as long to get to the big screen was coming of age drama Boyhood, 12 years in the making. Jazz also made a welcome return in 2014, via the cat and mouse drama of Whiplash and the vibrant score attributed to the showbiz satire of Alejandro Innaritu's Birdman, while we were also treated to new visions of Hollywood cinema in Dan Gilroy's debut Nightcrawler and Joon-ho Bong's first English language film, Snowpiercer. Each movie proved that film is still at its absolute pinnacle in terms of craft, story and entertainment, and we look forward to honouring them all tonight. So please, will you join me in looking back at the year that has passed and the movies that graced our cinemas, courtesy of Fantaverse member, Sleepy Skunk.
