Critics Choice Awards 2024: The Complete Winners List

Surprises and Triumphs in Hollywood's Glittering Night!

The 29th Critics Choice Awards wrapped up last night, delivering a star-studded ceremony filled with unexpected upsets and well-deserved wins. With Chelsea Handler back at the helm for the second year running, the night was a mix of witty jokes, emotional speeches, and fashion statements that would make Anna Wintour proud.

Cinema Takes Centre Stage:

Leading the film pack was Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer," claiming victory in eight categories, including Best Picture and Best Director. However, the biggest shock came in the acting categories, where Emma Stone (Poor Things) and Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers) defied predictions and snatched the Best Actress and Best Actor trophies, respectively. Margot Robbie and Cillian Murphy, nominated for "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer," were presumed frontrunners, but the voters had other plans.

Streaming Takes a Bite:

While the big-screen titans dominated, the rise of streaming giants was undeniable. Netflix's "Maestro" picked up awards for Best Supporting Actor (Bradley Cooper) and Best Cinematography, while Apple's "Killers of the Flower Moon" earned Lily Gladstone recognition as Best Supporting Actress. This growing presence showcased the evolving landscape of Hollywood where the line between cinema and streaming continues to blur.

TV Triumphs:

On the television side, familiar favourites reigned supreme. The final season of HBO's "Succession" cemented its legacy with wins for Best Drama Series, Best Actress (Sarah Snook), and Best Actor (Kieran Culkin). Season 2 of FX's "The Bear" clawed its way to the top, securing Best Comedy Series, Best Actor (Jeremy Allen White), and Best Actress (Ayo Edebiri). Meanwhile, "Beef" (Hulu) proved to be a sleeper hit, dominating the Limited Series categories with wins for Best Limited Series, Best Actor (Steven Yeun), and Best Actress (Ali Wong).

Beyond the Trophies:

The night wasn't just about golden statuettes. America Ferrera received the coveted SeeHer Award, recognising her dedication to championing diverse stories and empowering women in Hollywood. Inspiring acceptance speeches and heartfelt tributes to late actors Chadwick Boseman and Ray Liotta added a touch of poignancy to the celebration.

Beyond the competitive spirit, the night belonged to Hollywood's living legend, Harrison Ford. The 2024 Critics Choice Awards bestowed upon him the prestigious Career Achievement Award, a fitting tribute to his five-decade long reign as a cinematic icon. Director James Mangold, presenting the award, eloquently summarised Ford's impact: "Unforgettable characters, utterly human. That's the magic of Harrison Ford."

A New Chapter Begins:

With the 2024 Critics Choice Awards concluded, the race to the Oscars is wide open. The surprises and upsets served as a reminder that awards season is unpredictable and that the road to the golden statue is paved with unexpected turns. As the dust settles, one thing is certain: Hollywood continues to thrive, delivering compelling stories that resonate with audiences and inspire future generations of filmmakers and actors.

So, there you have it: a glimpse into the glitz and glamour of the 2024 Critics Choice Awards. Who will emerge victorious at the Oscars remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: Hollywood's magic isn't fading anytime soon.
