Now that the 2025 Awards night list is firmly in the books with the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards, Sunday, we have an inkling of who and what the other award shows will honor for this past year’s film and TV acting and productions. Sunday night’s awards were compiled by the Critics Choice Association composed of more than 600 film critics and entertainment writers.
Hosted by comedian Chelsea Handler for the fourth time in Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar the ceremony aired live on E! and USA Network.
First, “One Battle After Another,” took Best Picture. What likely propelled it to the top were Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director (Paul Thomas Anderson).
Next, Timothée Chalamet won Best Actor for “Marty Supreme” and Jessie Buckley won for her role in “Hamnet”
In addition, “The Pitt,” and “The Studio” did well with the TV awards.
However, when counting number of awards, horror and vampires led with Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” version of the classic horror film and “Sinners,” a vampire themed film tied with four awards.
“Frankenstein” won best supporting actor for Jacobi Elordi as the Creature plus it took honors for hair, makeup, costumes and production design. Sinners” took original screenplay, casting and score plus best young actor, 20-year-old Miles Caton.
