After the Golden Globes kickstarted the awards season of 2023, The Critics Choice Awards was right there to follow up. This is the 28th iteration of the prestigious award show. The award as the title suggests is known to award the best in film and television from a critical viewpoint. This means many choices that the award makes will not go well with the audience. Many times there are comparisons being drawn between the Oscar winners and Critics Choice Awards Winner, sometime they’re uncannily similar. Last year was particularly brilliant for cinema as theatres opened up and we got so many good films and series in along time. I think after 2019 this has to be the best year for cinema. This year the most nominations were bagged by the film that took the world by storm when it came out- Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Whereas on the Television turf, Abbott Elementary was nominated 6 times. Chelsea Handler hosted the CW broadcast, taking over from actor Taye Diggs, who hosted the past four years of the awards ceremony. There were two special awards given at the ceremony. One- Janelle Monáe who received the #SeeHer award and second Jeff Bridges was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award. So, without further ado, let’s look at all the winners.
