AwardsWatch’s International Online Cinema Awards (INOCA) Winners: Top Pick is Under the Skin Flick
Oscars, Schmoscars, The AwardsWatch INOCAs (International Online Cinema Awards) winners have been announced! Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel was the big winner, taking seven awards. It began with a field-best nine nominations, only losing Film Editing and Original Score. All while being infamously snubbed in Best Picture. Under the Skin won Best Picture and Best Score, Marion Cotillard (Two Days, One Night) beat out Oscar winner Julianne Moore (Still Alice) for Best Actress and Edward Norton (Birdman) beat out Oscar winner J.K. Simmons (Whiplash). Suzanne Clément won Best Supporting Actress for Mommy (one of that film’s two wins) and Ralph Fiennes (The Grand Budapest Hotel) won Best Actor to go along with his AwardsWatch #1 Performance of 2014 and the International Cinephile Society (ICS) award for Best Actor.

Interesting winners. As much as Birdman is my favorite film of 2014, no male supporting performance equalled that of J.K. Simmons in Whiplash. Not even Ed Norton, who is the somewhat distant runner-up.
