Sunday evening the 31st Annual Critics’ Choice Awards aired on USA Network and E!, awarding the best in TV and film. Hosted by Chelsea Handler (Girls Behaving Badly, Chelsea Lately), the ceremony saw some familiar winners in The Pitt and Adolescence, which picked up the most wins for a single series with four.
Handler, hosting for the fourth year in a row, opened the ceremony with a solid monologue, taking time to honor the late Rob Reiner. She maintain solid quips throughout the evening without any total bombs.
According to Deadline, Netflix led the night with a total of five TV wins followed by HBO/HBO Max and Apple TV with five each. Adolescence led all TV winners coveting awards for its lead and supporting actors, Stephen Graham (Bodies, A Thousand Blows), Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty (Reawakening, The Crown) — a repeat of last year’s Emmy wins. Lead Actress for Limited Series or TV Movie went to Sarah Snook (Succession, Steve Jobs) for her role in Peacock’s crime mystery, All Her Fault.
On the drama side, it was HBO Max’s The Pitt coveting three major awards, including Best Drama, and Lead Actor and Supporting Actress for Noah Wyle (The Librarians, ER) and Katherine LaNasa (Dardevil: Born Again, Truth Be Told). The Emmy mirroring continued with Tramell Tillman (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Sweethearts) winning Supporting Actor for Severance. However, his cast mate Britt Lower (Man Seeking Woman, Unforgettable) missed a Lead Actress repeat win as Rhea Seehorn (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) won for her breakout performance in Apple TV’s Pluribus.
In comedy, Seth Rogen (Platonic, Knocked Up) and Jean Smart (Watchmen, Designing Women) won for their lead performances in The Studio and Hacks, respectively. Rogen’s co-star Ike Barinholtz (American Auto, White House Plumbers) scored Best Supporting Actor while Abbott Elementary’s Janelle James (Black Monday, Kite Man: Hell Yeah!) won Best Supporting Actress after four consecutive nominations.
