MAD MAX: FURY ROAD CONQUERS THE AUSTIN FILM CRITICS ASSOCIATION AWARDS


The Austin Film Critics Association picked Mad Max: Fury Road today as the best film of 2015. Spotlight placed second on their Best Film list with Carol third, though the frailty of all three titles was exposed by their awards tallies - only the top two for Mad Max, one for Carol and nothing at all for Spotlight. Their top ten films oddly excluded Trumbo, which had been one of their five Best Film nominees. Have a hoke at what they chose below:
