Ben Affleck trova soddisfazione, dopo l'esclusione dai migliori registi agli Academy Awards, con i due premi principali ottenuti al Critics Choice Awards, portandosi a casa Miglior film e Miglior regista.
Essendo al suo terzo film, davvero niente male. Per quanto riguarda le altre categorie, nessuna sorpresa particolare. Tarantino trionfa, come sempre, nella sceneggiatura e Lincoln è sensibilmente ridimensionato rispetto alle 12 candidature degli Oscar.
