One of my personal favorites from last year, Beasts of the Southern Wild, took home four awards at last night's Black Reel Awards, including Outstanding Actress (Quvenzhané Wallis) and Outstanding Picture. Lets hope this is an indication of their success at the Oscars later this month.
Meanwhile, a film that was snubbed by the Academy, Middle of Nowhere, also made out like a bandit at the ceremony. Its writer/director Ava Duvernay won Outstanding Director and Screenplay. The acting categories went to other deserving talent like Denzel Washington for Flight, Naomie Harris for Skyfall and Samuel L. Jackson for Django Unchained.
“The culmination of a special year featuring some very special films and performances is highlighted by a fantastic job by our voters, recognizing some of the year's true gems,” said Tim Gordon, President and creator of the Black Reel Awards. “This was a very special year for many of us.”
Overall, these are very pleasing results. Check out the full list of film winners below:
