In what could be the first of many major pieces of hardware for him this award season, Brendan Fraser picked up best actor for his role in film festival darling 'The Whale' at Sunday's Critics Choice Awards.
Brendan Fraser picked up the award for best actor for his role in 'The Whale' at the 28th annual Critics Choice Awards, on January 15, in Los Angeles.
In what could be the first of many major pieces of hardware for him this award season, Brendan Fraser picked up best actor for his role in film festival darling "The Whale" at Sunday's Critics Choice Awards. Fraser had some mighty competition for the award, including Golden Globe winners Austin Butler, star of "Elvis," and Colin Farrell, who starred in "The Banshees of Inisherin."Ultimately, the organization -- made of up more than 600 media critics and entertainment journalists -- picked Fraser, whose turn as a reclusive, obese teacher named Charlie in the Darren Aronofsky film has turned heads since its standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival.
"It was Herman Melville who once wrote that there are only five critics in America -- the rest are asleep. I don't know what it means, either, but I'm sure glad you woke up for me," Fraser said in his acceptance speech.
