“Knocked Up” helmer Apatow gets Critics' Choice Genius Award December 21, 2012 - 10:26 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Three years after adding lots of new categories to align themselves more closely with the Oscars, the Critics' Choice Movie Awards have thrown all semblance of being Academy-like in the garbage and named Judd Apatow recipient of the CCMA's first Critics' Choice Louis XIII Genius Award, TheWrap said. The award goes to a man with a pretty high track record of making people laugh, with his new "This Is 40" the latest in a string of films that includes "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Knocked Up" and "Funny People." The "Louis XIII" tag on the award is not meant to compare Apatow with the king of France between 1610 and 1643. Instead, it refers to the award's sponsor, Louis XIII cognac.
