At the 27th annual Critics Choice Awards, Netflix’s ‘The Power Of The Dog’ won the Best Picture award. MGM’s Paul Thomas Anderson movie ‘Licorice Pizza’ won Best Comedy Feature. Jessica Chastain took Best Actress for Searchlight’s ‘The Eyes Of Tammy Faye’, and Will Smith followed with Best Actor for Warner Bros’ ‘King Richard’. Smith also won in the category at the BAFTA Awards.
‘Belfast’ won for Acting Ensemble, and the Focus Features pic’s actor Jude Hill also picked up the CCA for Young Actor/Actress. As reported by Deadline, in accepting the cast prize, star Jamie Dornan said, “As someone from Belfast, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of telling a story about a place people don’t have a really big idea about it. … without a politicized or military lens, seeing it through the eyes of family — something we can all relate to in Ukraine, families going through this hardship (sic).”
Actor Troy Kutser won the night’s first film award, Supporting Actor for Apple’s ‘CODA’, and actress Ariana DeBose then took Supporting Actress for ‘West Side Story’. Both of them also won BAFTA Awards.
‘The Power Of The Dog’ and ‘Ted Lasso’ led all films and TV shows with four wins each, and ‘Belfast’, ‘Dune’ and ‘Succession’ were next with three apiece. ‘West Side Story’, ‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’, ‘No Time to Die’, ‘Mare of Easttown’, ‘Squid Game’ and ‘The White Lotus’ were the night’s only other double winners.
There were a couple of surprising winners for lead acting in a drama series: Lee Jung-jae won for Netflix’s streaming juggernaut ‘Squid Game’ and Melanie Linsky for Showtime’s ‘Yellowjackets’.
‘The White Lotus’ stars Murray Bartlett and Jennifer Coolidge won the night’s first two awards — Supporting Actor and Actress in a Limited Series — for the HBO show.
The 2021 Critics Choice Awards generally aren’t considered a barometer of potential Oscar fortunes, with its more populist tendencies, but 'Nomadland' took the top film award last year and went on to score the Academy Award for Best Picture. Filmmaker Chloe Zhao snatched CCA trophies for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay as well.
