Deadline are covering the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards and reveal that Michael Fassbender has been presented with the "Best Actor" gong for his work in A Dangerous Method, Jane Eyre, Shame and critically acclaimed comic book movie X-Men: First Class. Meanwhile, Man of Steel's Michael Shannon was selected as runner-up for Take Shelter. These awards are said to be an indication of how the Academy Awards will go, so whether Fassbender (or Shannon) will be nominated remains to be seen.
