“CREED” has been voted the best film of 2015 by the Black Film Critics Circle (BFCC).

    The “Rocky” spinoff was also given prizes for lead actor Michael B. Jordan and for supporting players Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson.

    The best ensemble performance award went to “Straight Outta Compton,” which also won for best original screenplay.

    Brie Larson won best actress for “Room” and George Miller won best director for “Mad Max: Fury Road,” which also won the best cinematography prize.

    “Beasts of No Nation” received a special mention, with young lead Abraham Attah getting the BFCC’s rising star award.

    The U.S. critics’ association called the Ghanaian’s debut as an African child soldier was “one of the strongest and most phenomenal we have ever seen” and said he had “a very bright future ahead of him.”

    Rapper Ice Cube, producer of NWA biopic “Straight Outta Compton,” won a pioneer award for showing “artistic integrity and an unerring commitment to excellence.”

    Cube, the BFCC said, “continues to defy expectations [and] expand the boundaries of what black filmmakers can achieve.” (SD-Agencies)
