Cate Blanchett and Brendan Fraser win big at the Critics’ Choice Awards 2023: See complete list of winners

Last night, the 28th Critics’ Choice Awards took place in Los Angeles at the Fairmont Century Plaza. More than 500 critics and journalists from around the world voted on the best of film and television. The award ceremony had a fantastic turnout of celebrities and notable absences, such as Colin Farrell and Jamie Lee Curtis, who stayed home after testing positive for Covid-19. The beloved Michelle Pfeiffer took the stage to present Jeff Bridges with the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Kate Hudson presented the SeeHer award to Janelle Monáe. A recognition awarded to a person who “advocates for gender equality, portrays characters with authenticity, challenges stereotypes and pushes boundaries.”

In the film category, the movie ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ won five awards, including best picture. Meanwhile, ‘Abbott Elementary’ and ‘Better Call Saul’ won best comedy and drama series on TV.
