George Miller's action epic continues to pick up steam in awards season as it was named Best Film of 2015 today by the Online Film Critics Society, of which a number of ScreenAnarchy's contributors are members. Miller also nabbed the Best Director prize, as the film snatched both the Best Editing and Best Cinematography gongs to lead the pack with four awards.

Todd Haynes' acclaimed romance Carol picked up three awards, including Best Actress of Cate Blanchett, Best Supporting Actress for Rooney Mara and Best Adapted Screenplay for Phyllis Nagy. Michael Fassbender was named Best Actor for Steve Jobs, Oscar Isaac won Best Supporting Actor for Ex_Machina, and Joel Singer and Tom McCarthy collected Best Original Screenplay for Spotlight.

Hou Hsiao Hsien's The Assassin beat off stiff competition from the likes of Son Of Saul to win the Best Foreign Language Film Award, Joshua Oppenheimer's The Look Of Silence won Best Documentary, while Inside Out surprised nobody to win Best Animated Film.

The 10 Best Non-US Releases of the year were Aferim!, Cemetery Of Splendor, The Club, Dheepan, The Lobster, Mountains May Depart, Mia Madre, Rams, Right Now, Wrong Then and Sunset Song.
