Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” got the glory last week at the Golden Globes, but the 28th annual Critics Choice Awards shook up the Oscar race on Sunday.
The bonkers sci-fi action comedy “Everything Everywhere All at Once” dominated the film side, winning Best Picture, Best Director for Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert, Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan, Best Original Screenplay for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, and Best Editing for Paul Rogers for intercutting alternate universes.
While Austin Butler won at the Globes for “Elvis,” Brendan Fraser stepped on his blue suede shoes by winning Best Actor at the Critics Choice Awards for his comeback role in “The Whale,” in which he played an obese English professor teaching remotely.
Cate Blanchett solidified her march to an Oscar by winning Best Actress for “Tar,” while Angela Bassett won Best Supporting Actress for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” The latter gave Washington D.C. a shoutout by saying that she was inspired to pursue acting after a class field trip to the Kennedy Center to watch James Earl Jones in “Of Mice and Men.”
On the TV side, “Better Call Saul” took home three trophies, winning Best Drama Series, Best Actor in a Drama Series for Bob Odenkirk, and Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Giancarlo Esposito. The wins solidified its victorious final season on AMC.
Meanwhile, ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” won two awards for Best Comedy Series and Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Sheryl Lee Ralph.
Jeremy Allen White earned Best Actor in a Comedy Series for making us all hungry in Hulu’s “The Bear,” while “The Dropout” won Best Limited Series and Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television for Amanda Seyfried.
To mark the 25th anniversary of “The Big Lebowski” (1998), John Goodman presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Jeff Bridges, while Kate Hudson presented this year’s SeeHer Award to Janelle Monáe, honoring a woman who advocates for gender equality.
