What is shaping up to be a battle between Spotlight and Mad Max: Fury Road at the critics awards has earned Spotlight another top prize, taking more awards than it has so far. Rooney Mara gets gerrymandered in support in spite of being the co-lead of her film, while Mark Rylance picks up another trophy.
