The 1996 Critics Consensus Award Winners
No big surprises in the results of the 1996 Critics Consensus Awards. As you may have expected, the Coen brothers' Fargo was not only the most nominated movie across the current nine categories with six mentions, it's also the most awarded, picking up four prizes, including Frances McDormand's second (and not her last!). The remaining five awards were spread out between five different movies, though not one of them was a Best Picture nominee, which makes Fargo's win look even more definitive. Check out all the details below.
