The 2022 CFA kicked off in style, with a long tracking shot featuring presenter and founder Walter Nicoletti. And while many of the night’s victors were expected—director Denis Villeneuve and his best-picture, best director, best cinematography and best editing, – winning Dune, mainly – the evening had a few surprises in store as well. Best actress, a category with the potential to swing in any number of directions, wound up going to Kristen Stewart. Even more surprisingly, best actor to Will Smith. Olga Mereditz won best supporting actress, Bradley Cooper won best supporting actor for Licorice Pizza, while Luca, directed by Enrico Casarosa, won best animation. Drive My Car won best foreign language film. Finally two honorary awards has announced: best revelation actor to Troy Kotsur for CODA and Life Time Achievement Award is assigned to Francis Ford Coppola for his italian origin (he descends from Italian immigrants originally from Bernalda, in the province of Matera).
The Celebrity Film Awards® is the perfect occasion for reward people who made extraordinary films, and this is about the celebration of excellence,” said CFA Founder Walter Nicoletti. “These are very emotional films that are very good and clear about what they’re doing. We couldn’t have been happier when the winners came out. I want to thank all members and jurors, we are a great dream team who respond directly to all aimes.
