When executive producer Tom Lassally took the stage to accept the best comedy series award for “Silicon Valley” at the 22nd annual Critics’ Choice Awards Sunday night, “Atlanta” star Lakeith Stanfield had other plans.

Stanfield could be seen approaching the stage from the opposite side of the room as Lassally climbed the steps, eventually swooping in to, one assumes, register a note of protest for “Atlanta” losing the prize.

“I want to thank everybody for honoring us in this way,” Stanfield said, as Lassally looked on from behind presenters Christian Slater and Leslie Mann. “We worked very hard on ‘Silicon Valley’ and here we are. Thank you.”

When Stanfield vacated the mic, Lassally finally got to his own speech. “I have no idea who that was,” he said, before accepting the prize.

“Atlanta” didn’t go home empty-handed, though. Star Donald Glover won the award for best actor in a comedy series.

Scott and Deirdre Gurney aren’t taking their sacking from ITV lying down. Days after the Gurneys, producers on the A&E reality series “Duck Dynasty,” were sacked from ITV America and sued for fraud by the company, an attorney for the couple said that the producers will mount a countersuit. “This is a blatant, desperate attempt at intimidation by ITV, a classic greedy corporate grab, solely for the purpose of enriching one shareholder at the expense of the founders who built this company into the highly valued, sustained financial success story that it is,” the couple’s attorney, Michael E. »

Some of the year’s best acting took place in movies that might have slipped beneath your radar. For a full range of 2016’s finest performances, hunt down these worthwhile titles. Josh Hamilton – “Take Me To the River” Both menacing and darkly hilarious, Hamilton’s character, like the film itself, keeps us off-kilter from start to finish. Lily-Rose Depp and Harley Quinn Smith – “Yoga Hosers” If you can get past the goofiness of Kevin Smith’s latest (Nazi braunschweigers?), the sparkling chemistry between the film’s stars (whose dads appear as well) was a comedic highlight. Devin Druid – “Louder Than Bombs »
