According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Critics Choice Awards are unfairly treating actress Brie Larson, who asked producers to allow "Room" co-star Jacob Tremblay to accept for best actress award, while she was away filming in Australia. Sources say producers denied her a proxy, insisting they do not inform winners in advance or allow presenters to accept trophies for absentees. However, given that Leonardo DiCaprio sent in a taped speech after winning best actor for "The Revenant," and that George Miller had a group of actresses armed with prepared comments pick up his award for "Mad Max: Fury Road," it seems the actress was the victim of a not-so-secret double standard.
