On Sunday, January 15th, the Critics Choice Association (CCA), of which yours truly is a two-year member, announced the winners of the 28th annual Critics Choice Awards LIVE on The CW. The efficient and on-time show was hosted by Chelsea Handler and held at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. One of these years, you will see me there!

“Everything Everywhere All at Once” led the winners in the film categories, earning five awards including Best Picture, Best Director for Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert, Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan, Best Original Screenplay for Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert, and Best Editing for Paul Rogers.

John Goodman presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Jeff Bridges in a very special highlight of the evening, while Kate Hudson presented this year’s SeeHer Award to Janelle Monáe.
