Mad Max: Fury Road blows away competition at the 2015 INOCA Halfway Awards

 

The summer smash Mad Max: Fury Road laid waste to its competition at the 2015 Half-way Awards of the International Online Cinema Awards (INOCA), winning 10 of its 16 nominations. The Warner Brothers release won Best Picture as well as dominated the tech categories, including Cinematography, Film Editing and Sound Mixing.

No slouch, the arthouse hit Clouds of Sils Maria from IFC Films won three, including Best Actress for Juliette Binoche and Best Supporting Actress for Kristen Stewart (who won the César for this role). Interestingly, Supporting Actress resulted in a tie with none other than Stewart’s co-star in 2014’s Still Alice, Julianne Moore. Her win came from another arthouse hit, Maps to the Stars, for which she won the Cannes Best Actress award last year.

The ensemble award provided a nice surprise (as well as a 2nd tie) with Melissa McCarthy’s summer comedy Spy tying with About Elly from Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi. That film, originally released in 2009 in its native country of Iran, only just got a U.S. release this year from The Cinema Guild, therefore making it eligible for our 2015 awards.

Here are the full list of winners and for a quick reminder of the nominees, click here.
