INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS, BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR HONORED AT 11th ICS AWARDS
Overcoming tough competition on the rocky road to stardom, Inside Llewyn Davis took home four top ICS awards, including best picture, ensemble cast, original screenplay, and best actor (in a tie) for Oscar Isaac’s soulful portrayal of a down-on-his-luck musician. Yet Blue is the Warmest Color nearly matched it, also with four big wins: best film not in the English language and adapted screenplay, along with actress and supporting actress kudos for the passionate young lovers brought to life by Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux, respectively.
Tying with Isaac was Leonardo DiCaprio as debauched stockbroker Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street, while supporting actor went to another wonderfully wild performance, James Franco’s Alien in Spring Breakers.
Gravity rode its cinematic firepower to three awards: best director for Alfonso Cuarón, along with cinematography and editing. Spike Jonze’s warm-natured Her won for its score and production design, while Scarlett Johansson’s remarkable computer personality landed her in the runner-up slot for supporting actress. And, in an ICS first, Bruno Delbonnel tied himself (vote-splitting?) for cinematography runner-up with his atmospheric lensing of Faust and Inside Llewyn Davis.
