The horror genre has been a huge part of the awards conversation in recent months, largely thanks to the accomplishments of last year\u2019s standouts Sinners, Frankenstein, and Weapons.<\/p>\n

While we wait to see if any horror movies actually get Academy Awards nominations<\/a> later this month, the horror genre did just win big at the Critics Choice Awards last night.<\/p>\n

Of particular note, Amy Madigan took home the Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Aunt Gladys in Zach Cregger\u2019s Weapons, while Jacob Elordi won Best Supporting Actor for his role as the Creature in Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Frankenstein.<\/p>\n

Ryan Coogler\u2019s vampire epic Sinners won four trophies at the Critics Choice Awards, including Best Young Actor\/Actress (Miles Caton), Best Casting & Ensemble (Francine Maisler), Best Score (Ludwig G\u00f6ransson), and Best Original Screenplay (Ryan Coogler).<\/p>\n

In addition to Best Supporting Actor, Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Netflix movie Frankenstein also won Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Hair & Makeup.<\/p>\n
