Everything We Know About 'Star Trek 3' So Far
'Argo' and 'Silver Linings' Lead 2013 Critics' Choice Winners
Warner Bros.
He may have been snubbed by the Academy this morning, but "Argo" director Ben Affleck has emerged the big winner of this year's Critics' Choice Awards as he beat out such filmmaking veterans as Ang Lee, David O. Russell and Steven Spielberg in taking home Best Director. "Argo" was the big toast across the board this evening as the CIA thriller also won Best Picture, beating out such heavyweights as "Lincoln" and "Zero Dark Thirty."
"Silver Linings Playbook" emerged as another big winner at the Critics' Choice Awards, taking home Best Acting Ensemble, Best Comedy, Best Actor in a Comedy (Bradley Cooper) and Best Actress in a Comedy (Jennifer Lawrence). Lawrence also took home Best Actress in an Action Movie for "The Hunger Games."

The 17th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards wrapped up as dressed-to-the-nines winners and nominees left the Hollywood Palladium for a night of well-deserved celebrating.

Decidedly less glamorous than the show itself but just as exciting is the press tent where all of the big winners are paraded before an eager group of reporters frantically typing on their laptops. If you follow NextMovie on Twitter, you were fed the most memorable moments backstage as they were happening. Here are a few snippets of what went down after the winners picked up their trophies… Get More »

Why the Critics' Choice Movie Awards Matter

The Critics' Choice Movie Awards take place Thursday, January 12, and for many fans that begs one question: So what?
Sure, everyone knows why the Oscars are cool and/or important, and even the Golden Globes have caught on with the public in recent years. But do we really need yet another awards show run by yet another group of insiders trying to tell us what's good and what isn't? Do we really need the Critics' Choice Movie Awards (aka the Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards)?
Our answer: Yeah, we do -- and not just because it's the first major awards show of the year, or because truly spectacular events can unfold there (like in 2010, when Best Actress cowinners Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock shared a liplock) . Get More »

VH1
The 2012 Critics' Choice Movie Awards are almost here and this year, VH1 is bringing out the big guns ... literally.

'Drive,' 'The Artist' & 'Shame' Score Critics' Choice Noms
FilmDistrict
Critics seem to be championing edgier, artsier cinema even more than usual this year as non-mainstream films such as "Drive," "The Artist" and "Shame" scored nominations in multiple categories for the 17th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards.
"The Artist" and "Hugo" led the charge with a whopping 11 nominations, but "Drive" is the big winner here, as the violent, surrealist crime thriller starring Ryan Gosling probably won't be touched by Oscar with a 10-foot pole, or so we might've thought previously. Writer-director Nicolas Winding Refn's film scored nominations in the Best Picture, Best Actor (Gosling), Best Supporting Actor (Albert Brooks), Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Action Movie and Best Score categories.
