Sunday brought praise to yet another set of award winners this season with the airing of the London Critics’ Awards. Anne Hathaway’s role as Fantine in ‘Les Mis’ shone brightly in the eyes of London’s critics, achieving her the title of Supporting Actress of the Year. For the smiley songstar this recognition means she’s one step closer to stealing an even spiffier trophy at the Oscars. I know I’ll be rooting for her! Until then, I Dreamed a Dream will be playing on a loop.
