The Critics Choice Awards 2022 witnessed a variety of movies and series bag coveted accolades and make a mark in the global entertainment industry. HBO & HBO Max emerged as the distributor to lead the winners’ list with 10 major wins.
Held on 13 March, 2022, the Los Angeles event turned out to be a major boost for television content and distributors. HBO and HBO Max surpassed the seven wins by Netflix and five by Apple TV Plus. The latter’s Ted Lasso continued the winning streak with Best Comedy in the Critics Choice, matching its Emmy winning category, as well as the Best Supporting Actor (Jason Sudeikis) and Supporting Actress awards (Brett Goldstein) in the Critics Choice Award.
Succession, on the other hand, added the Critics Choice Award for Best Drama to its list of wins after the 2022 Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award in the same category. It also won the Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Kieran Culkin) and Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Sarah Snook) categories.
Record breaking Korean series, Squid Game, that gained massive viewership on Netflix, emerged winner in the Best Foreign Language Series and Best Actor In a Drama Series (Lee Jung-jae).
The Netflix original film The Power of the Dog took home the highest honour of Best Film and Jane Campion was named the Best Director. Kenneth Branagh’s coming-of-age drama Belfast, set in Northern Ireland, emerged as another major winner with best original screenplay, acting ensemble and young actor/actress honours.
In what can be called the one of the cutest moments from the night, Minari’s Alan Kim presented Belfast‘s Jude Hill with the Best Young Actor honour. Hill went home a double winner with his on-screen dad Jamie Dornan joining him onstage to accept the award for Best Acting Ensemble. Dornan said, “Critics are not usually very nice to me. So this is a change. It doesn’t actually say Belfast on this, can I just make this clear, so this might not be right.”
Will Smith aced once again with his brilliant performance and won the Best Actor award for King Richard. Accepting the award Smith pointed towards Venus and Serena Williams and their sister and the film’s executive producer, Isha Price in the ballroom. He said, “Thank you for entrusting me with your story. What your family was able to do inspired everyone in this room, everyone in this country and everyone around the world. You all define the American dream.”
Beating the likes of Lady Gaga for House Of Gucci and Kristen Stewart for Spencer, Jessica Chastain won the big award for Best Actress for Eyes Of Tammy Faye, which was a major highlight.
Hosted by Taye Diggs and Nicole Byer, the Critics Choice Awards ceremony was broadcast live on CW and TBS, as the evening unfolded with events in both Los Angeles and London. The Critics Choice Association (CCA) added the satellite location to include nominees who also attended the BAFTAs. Los Angeles’s Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel became a parade of stars and who’s who of the industry. The stars poured in for a late-night event at the Savoy Hotel in London.
