The 27th annual Critics Choice Awards were held at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles and the Savoy Hotel in London on Sunday (March 13th), airing on TBS and The CW. Nicole Byer and Taye Diggs hosted the event, and Byer began the night by joking that the show is “a party so big we had to do it on two different continents.”
Presenters for the evening included Venus and Serena Williams, Kristin Wiig, Jimmy Kimmel, Mandy Moore, Issa Rae, Ava DuVernay, Carey Mulligan, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Taika Waititi, Ray Romano, Lee Jung-jae, Jung Ho-yeon, Park Hae-soo, and more.
The Power of the Dog won Best Picture, and Jane Campion won Best Director, mirroring the film’s wins earlier in the day at the BAFTA Awards. While accepting the award for Best Picture, Campion referred to herself as the “grandmother” of the women’s movement in film. “But I’m still here!” she said.
