The Critics’ Choice Awards returned to Los Angeles on Sunday night and set the tone for the rest of the Oscars race. Everything Everywhere All at Once was the biggest winner of the night with a total of five awards, while Better Call Saul won big in the TV field with a total of three trophies.
Everything Everywhere entered the night with a record 14 nominations and managed to win five, including best picture. Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert also picked up trophies for directing and writing this film, while Paul Rogers won the award for best editing.
Ke Huy Quan collected another trophy for best supporting actor, and he was in pretty good company. The list of major winners in the acting categories included Brendan Fraser (best actor for The Whale), Cate Blanchett (best actress for Tár), and Angela Bassett (best supporting actress for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever).
The TV field was pretty crowded this year, but Better Call Saul managed to win three trophies for its final season: best drama series, best actor in a drama series (Bob Odenkirk), and best supporting actor in a drama series (Giancarlo Esposito). The list of winners also included Abbott Elementary, The Dropout, and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story with two awards each.
The 28th Critics’ Choice Awards took place on January 15, with Chelsea Handler replacing Taye Diggs as the host.
