The Critics Choice Association held their 28th annual Critics Choice Awards on Sunday, January 15, at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel in Los Angeles. The Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once led all film nominees with 14 nominations going into the evening, and it took home awards for five of them, including Best Picture, Best Director (or Directors in this case), Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan. Meanwhile, Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans earned 11 nominations and only took home one award, which star Gabriel LaBelle won for Best Young Actor/Actress. Four films tied with two wins each, while the rest tied The Fabelmans with one win apiece.

On the TV side, Better Call Saul won three of the five Drama categories, including Best Drama Series and a win for Bob Odenkirk for Best Actor, while Best Comedy Series winner Abbott Elementary also picked up a trophy for Sheryl Lee Ralph in the Best Supporting Actress category. Hulu’s The Dropout won both Best Limited Series and Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television for Amanda Seyfried, while The Roku Channel’s Weird: The Al Yankovic Story took home Best Movie Made for Television and Best Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television for Daniel Radcliffe’s performance.
