'Argentina, 1985' lost at the Critic's Choice Awards, but does what left the ceremony predict the Oscars?

As we reported last night,

could not repeat what happened at the Golden Globes, and it was the Indian production

that won the category of best international film.

The big winner was

, which took 5 awards at the 28th Critic's Choice Awards.

In any case, the chances of Santiago Mitre's film, with Ricardo Darín and Peter Lanzani, of being among the five nominees for the Oscar for best international film remain intact.

And RRR is not in its way, since strangely India did not send this film to the Hollywood Academy, but

to compete in that category.

As much as they repeated the same group that went to the Golden Globes (Mitre, Darín, Lanzani, the producers Victoria Alonso, Axel Kuschevatzky, Agustina Llambi Campbell and Cindy Teperman, Florencia Bas - Darín's wife - and Dolores Fonzi - Miter's partner -, this time the result was not the same.

These awards are given by the Critics Association of the United States and Canada (CCA), which has more than 600 journalists specialized in the entertainment sector and, after the industry boycott of the Globe Gold at 222, it looked like it would establish itself as the top Critics' award in the United States.

As we said at the beginning, the big disappointments of the night were

Spielberg's film, which opens in Argentina on Thursday, January 26, had to settle only for the best young actor award for Canadian Gabriel LaBelle.

Worse was the Martin McDonagh film, since

was not even chosen for any of the 9 categories to which it had been nominated.

The gala was hosted by American actress and writer Chelsea Handler and took place at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel in Los Angeles, which also usually hosts other film awards, such as the Actors Guild Awards (SAG Awards in English).

Perhaps the most emotional moment was when Brendan Fraser, for 

 (The Whale) could not hold back his tears and began to cry on stage.

In Darren Aronofsky's film, he plays an overweight man who cannot leave his home.

Fraser did come out of the ostracism of the Hollywood industry, after overcoming a depression.

The Australian Cate Blanchett (
