Nomadland Wins At The Critics Choice Awards


The Critics Choice Awards, which are voted on by the Broadcast Film Critics Association, were handed out tonight.  I’m not sure how many people actually watched the show, given that it was competing with Oprah interviewing Meghan and Harry.  I watched it while doing some cleaning around the house.  To be honest, I was more into the cleaning than the watching but, from what I did see, it appeared that the “ceremony”  was a bit of step-up for last week’s disastrous Golden Globes.  While there were still a few awkward moments caused by the virtual nature of the ceremony, it didn’t appear to be as a painful as anything happened last weekend.  If nothing else, Taye Diggs was a charming host and Barb and Star were nowhere to be seen.

As for what won, it was pretty much the usual suspects. Nomadland took best picture.  Daniel Kaluuya has pretty much become the new front runner for Best Supporting Actor.  After losing her Globe, Maria Bakalova won a Critics Choice.  Carey Mulligan won best actress for Promising Young Woman.

Here’s a full list of winners.  (You can check out a list of all the nominees be clicking here.)

Here Are The Winners of the 24th Annual Critics Choice Awards!


TSL writer Patrick Smith has referred to The Critics Choice Awards as being his “fifth favorite awards show” and that seems like the perfect description of where they fall in awards season.  People do pay attention to them and, in the past, they’ve been a pretty good precursor as far as the Oscars are concerned.  At the same time, there always seem to be confusion as just who exactly votes for the Critics Choice Awards.

Well, the answer to that question is that the Critics’ Choice Awards are voted on by the Broadcast Film Critics Association and, tonight, they announced their picks on the CW.

It was interesting night — two ties and Christian Bale was named Best Actor twice, which of course meant we had to suffer through his “I’m just an ordinary working bloke!” routine two times too many.  By far, my favorite winner was Amy Adams for Sharp Objects.

(On another note: Taye Diggs was an interesting choice to host.  I thought he did okay but, with his talent, he really should be receiving the awards instead of talking about them.  Someone write a great role for Taye Diggs ASAP!)

Here are tonight’s winners!  (Check out the nominees here!)
