Awards season is now in full swing. Last week saw the Palm Springs gala and the Golden Globes. The National Board of Review prizes were given out on Thursday. This weekend comes the Critics Choice awards.

How nominees deport themselves on the red carpet, glad-hand in the room, lose graciously or win endearingly are scrutinised by voters yet to cast their ballots for the season’s most prestigious honour.
