This interview took place during a dedicated Critics Choice Association press day back at the beginning of December.

Remember how they wanted to have a Best Popular Film Category a few years ago? It got nixed after the backlash but you may as well just call it Best Disney Film because more often than not, The Walt Disney Company owns the distributor. We’re in quite a…
