2015 Awards

Quick Look

Check out the winners and other nominees from the 2015 Cosmo Awards:

Synopsis

The Revenant was a big winner at the 2015 Cosmos.

While The Martin won Best Picture, that was the only trophy it picked up. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy took home Lead and Supporting Actor awards for The Revenant, which also won Best Dramatic Film and Best Historical Film.

In a rare split, the Best Film winner did not also win Best Director. That went instead to George Miller for Mad Max: Fury Road.

Brie Larson won Best Actress for Room, for which her costar, Jacob Tremblay, won Best Young Male Actor. Alicia Vikander was double-nominated for Best Supporting Actress, winning for Ex Machina instead of The Danish Girl. Elle Fanning won Best Young Actress for Trumbo.

A majority of Cosmo voters are Gen X, and sentimentally chose both Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher for the Heroic Male and Female awards, which they won for reprising their roles as Han Solo and Princess General Leia in Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens.

Carol was the most-nominated film of 2015 with 14 nominations, followed by The Martian with 10 nominations and The Danish Girl, The Revenant, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens with nine nominations each. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara each received four individual and one ensemble nomination, tying for the most-nominated individuals at the Twelfth Cosmique Movie Awards. They beat out Matt Damon, who received three individual and one ensemble nomination.

Rooney Mara was nominated for both leading and supporting awards for her performance in Carol, reflecting Cosmo voters’ confusion in how to best categorize her role. That has happened several times before in Cosmo history: Richard Gere in Chicago (2002); Ellen Degeneres in Finding Nemo (2003); Scarlett Johansson in Lost in Translation (2003); Natalie Portman in Closer (2004); and Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls (2006). Degeneres, Johansson, and Hudson all won for Supporting Actress.

Hall of Fame Awards went to The Shawshank Redemption, Helen Mirren and Betty White in the Actress and Comedic Actress categories, and to Ian McKellen and Eddie Murphy in the corresponding male categories.

Due to an unusual number of films being set in our hometown of San Francisco, this year there was a special One-Off Award for Best 2015 Film Set in San Francisco. Two winners tied: Ant-Man and Inside Out. Other nominees included The Age of Adaline, The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Man From Reno, and When the World Came to San Francisco.
