‘La La Land’ stormed the Critics’ Choice Awards 2016 winning an impressive eight gongs.
Damien Chazelle’s spectacular new musical was awarded Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, Best Editing, Best Score, Best Song and Best Original Screenplay.
During his acceptance speech on stage at The Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on Sunday (11.12.16), director Chazelle praised lead stars Ryan Gosling, 36, and Emma Stone, 28, after the pair failed to receive individual awards for their parts in the movie.
Speaking to them, he said: "Both of you (gave) more than I ever could have expected from actors … just the most transformative performances I’ve ever been lucky enough to film."
Elsewhere, the prestigious Best Actress and Best Actor accolades went to Natalie Portman, 35, for her portrayal of the former US first lady Jackie Kennedy in ‘Jackie’ and Casey Affleck, 41, for his role in drama ‘Manchester By The Sea’.
Ryan Reynolds, 40, received the prestigious Entertainer of The Year award and Best Actor in a Comedy for ‘Deadpool’.
And the superhero film also picked up Best Comedy.
The night – hosted by ‘Deadpool’ star TJ Miller – was not without some surprises, as when the director of ‘Silicon Valley’, Tom Lassally, took to the stage to give his acceptance speech for Best Comedy Series, rival Lakeith Standfield from ‘Atlanta’ interrupted him.
He said: "I want to thank everybody for honouring us in this way.
"We worked very hard on ‘Silicon Valley’ and here we are. Thank you."
Lassally then proceeded with his speech and claimed he didn’t know who the stage invader was.
He quipped: . "I have no idea who that was."
Other winners on the night included ‘Game of Thrones’, which won Best Drama Series and Alec Baldwin was named Best Guest Performer for his impersonation of President-elect Donald Trump on ‘Saturday Night Live’.
