In a surprising turn of events, Jessie Buckley claimed the Best Actress award for her remarkable performance in “Hamnet,” surpassing a lineup of renowned contenders.

The talented 36-year-old Irish actress prevailed over notable names such as Emma Stone for “Bugonia,” Amanda Seyfried for “The Testament of Ann Lee,” Rose Byrne for “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” Chase Infiniti for “One Battle After Another,” and Renate Reinsve for “Sentimental Value” in this fiercely competitive category.

“Hamnet,” penned and directed by Chloe Zhao, tells the poignant story of Agnes and William Shakespeare as they navigate the profound grief of losing their son, Hamnet, to the plague in 16th-century England. Agnes, a healer, must find the resilience to care for her remaining children while dealing with her overwhelming sorrow.

Meanwhile, Noah Wyle’s performance in the HBO drama “The Pitt” earned him top accolades at the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards, nearly 20 years after the conclusion of the beloved series “E.R.”

The 54-year-old actor was awarded Best Actor in a Drama Series, while “The Pitt” was honored with the prestigious Best Drama Series title, underscoring its success in the television landscape.

Jessie Buckley upset a star-studded field as she earned Best Actress for her stunning work in Hamnet

The talented actor won over: Sterling K. Brown – Paradise, Diego Luna – Andor, Mark Ruffalo – Task, Adam Scott – Severance, and Billy Bob Thornton – Landman.

During his acceptance speech, Wyle – who starred on iconic medical drama E.R. over 254 episodes from 1994 to 2009 – graciously gave credit to his field as he said: ‘Uh, it seems so presumptuous to prepare a speech when you’re nominated with the caliber of performer that I’m nominated with. 

‘All I ever wanted was to have my name mentioned caliber of performers I am tonight. I can’t tell you how moved I am. I owe everyone at this table everything.’

For the top television honor, The Pitt won over: Alien: Earth (FX), Andor (Disney+), The Diplomat (Netflix), Paradise (Hulu), Pluribus (Apple TV), Severance (Apple TV), and Task (HBO Max).

Noah Wyle led HBO drama The Pitt to top honors at the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards nearly two decades after the end of iconic series ER

 The Pitt is centered around the daily lives of healthcare professionals in a Pittsburgh hospital as they juggle personal crises, workplace politics, and the emotional toll of treating critically ill patients, revealing the resilience required in their noble calling.

Jean Smart made history as she earned her fourth straight Best Actress in a Comedy Series honor.

The 74-year-old acting icon has previously won the same category in 2022, 2023, and 2025. Last year Ayo Edebiri earned the honor for her work on The Bear, but Hacks was not eligible for any awards.

Unfortunately, Hacks did not win the top honor of Best Comedy series as they were bested by the Seth Rogen led The Studio after winning last year.

Regardless, Smart triumphed over an impressive field including: Kristen Bell – Nobody Wants This, Natasha Lyonne – Poker Face, Rose McIver – Ghosts, Edi Patterson – The Righteous Gemstones, and Carrie Preston – Elsbeth.

The talented actress highlighted the contentious relationship between talent and critics before concluding: ‘So I thank the Critics Association for your appreciation of our little show Hacks. 

‘And thank you all so much. And my fellow nominees, brilliant beyond brilliant.’

Hacks explores a dark mentorship that forms between Deborah Vance (Smart), a legendary Las Vegas comedian, and an entitled, outcast comedy writer in their mid-20s (Hannah Einbinder). 

Meanwhile, the aforementioned The Studio beat out Hacks and a field including Abbott Elementary (ABC), Elsbeth (CBS), Ghosts (CBS), Nobody Wants This (Netflix), Only Murders in the Building (Hulu), and The Righteous Gemstones for Best Comedy Series.

The 54-year-old actor took home Best Actor in a Drama Series as the show also took home the most coveted television award Best Drama Series

For the top television honor, The Pitt won over: Alien: Earth (FX), Andor (Disney+), The Diplomat (Netflix), Paradise (Hulu), Pluribus (Apple TV), Severance (Apple TV), and Task (HBO Max)

The Pitt is centered around the daily lives of healthcare professionals in a Pittsburgh hospital as they juggle personal crises, workplace politics, and the emotional toll of treating critically ill patients, revealing the resilience required in their noble calling

It also earned individual honors for Seth Rogen and Ike Barinholtz in the Best Actor in a Comedy Series and Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series categories, respectively. 

Rogen,  43, joked during his acceptance speech: ‘This is so nice. As someone who deeply, deeply cares what critics think of them and their work, this is like what I’m looking for. 

‘I can cancel therapy this week. I’m good. I’m fixed. I’m fine, I think.’

The Studio follows a legacy Hollywood movie studio striving to survive in a world where it is increasingly difficult for art and business to live together.

Owen Cooper earned a massive win as Adolescence nearly swept the limited series categories.

The 16-year-old rising star became the youngest ever to earn Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television for his name-making role for Netflix.

It wasn’t the only big win for Adolescence as Erin Doherty won Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television and Stephen Graham took home Best Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television.

It also took home the top honor Best Limited Series All Her Fault (Peacock), Chief of War (Apple TV), Death by Lightning (Netflix), Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy (Peacock), Dope Thief (Apple TV), Dying for Sex (FX on Hulu), and The Girlfriend (Prime Video).

Adolescence is centered around a 13-year-old named Jamie Miller (Cooper) who is accused of the murder of a classmate, his family, therapist and the detective in charge are all left asking what really happened. 

During his speech Cooper was earnest as he began it by saying: ‘Thank you to the critics and to everyone behind the scenes who made this night possible. 

‘This past year has been a complete whirlwind for me and my family, honestly. It’s changed our lives forever. We’re forever grateful. We cherish every single moment of it.’

Cooper triumphed over an impressive field including: Wagner Moura – Dope Thief, Nick Offerman – Death by Lightning, Michael Peña – All Her Fault, Ashley Walters – Adolescence, and Ramy Youssef – Mountainhead.

Adolescence did not sweep limited series or movie categories as the project did not earn a nomination for Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television which Sarah Snook won.

Meanwhile, The Studio beat out Hacks and a field including Abbott Elementary (ABC), Elsbeth (CBS), Ghosts (CBS), Nobody Wants This (Netflix), Only Murders in the Building (Hulu), and The Righteous Gemstones for Best Comedy Series

It also earned individual honors for Seth Rogen (left) and Ike Barinholtz (right)  in the Best Actor in a Comedy Series and Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series categories, respectively

Rogen, 43, joked during his acceptance speech: ‘This is so nice. As someone who deeply, deeply cares what critics think of them and their work, this is like what I’m looking for. ‘I can cancel therapy this week. I’m good. I’m fixed. I’m fine, I think.’

The 38-year-old Australian actress earned the honor for her work in Peacock limited Series All Her Fault. 

She beat out Jessica Biel – The Better Sister, Meghann Fahy – Sirens, Michelle Williams – Dying for Sex, Robin Wright – The Girlfriend, and Renée Zellweger – Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.

Snook hilariously revealed that she did not prepare a speech leading up to the event as she said: ‘My husband was like, you seem a bit distant in the car on the way here. 

‘I was like, “yeah, I just had forgotten what we were doing and I didn’t write a speech or anything, and I’m just trying to go through things here.” Then I forgot when I got here again because it was nice to see everybody. Now I’m regretting everything.’

All Her Fault is centered around a mother named Marissa Irvine (played by Snook) whose son vanishes after a play date at the park and is thrust into a desperate search to uncover the truth behind is disappearance.

Meanwhile, Miles Caton took home the first award of the night.

The 20-year-old actor earned Best Young Actor/Actress for their work in the blockbuster Sinners at the gala taking place in Santa Monica, California on Sunday.

Caton made his acting debut as musician and sone of a preacher, Sammie Moore, in the vampire thriller.

He beat out an impressive field including: Everett Blunck – The Plague, Cary Christopher – Weapons, Shannon Mahina Gorman – Rental Family, Jacobi Jupe – Hamnet and, Nina Ye – Left-Handed Girl.

The star thanked the producers and director/writer Ryan Coogler as he joked:  ‘Thank you for seeing whatever it is you could see in that poorly lit audition video that I sent you guys.’

Chelsea Handler returned as host for the fourth consecutive year as the star-studded ceremony lit up the Barker Hangar – a glitzy night that regularly signals who’s about to dominate awards season.

She started out the show with a hilarious monologue taking aim at filmmaker Quentin Tarantino,  Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Costner, and Nicki Minaj.

Long considered one of the most accurate crystal balls in Hollywood, the Critics Choice Awards have a strong track record of forecasting Oscar glory.

That predictive power was on full display last season, when Anora used its Critics Choice Best Picture win to reassert itself after being shut out at the Golden Globe and SAG Awards, momentum it ultimately carried all the way to the Academy Awards. 

Three acting winners, Adrien Brody, Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldaña, also repeated their Critics Choice victories at the Oscars.

With the Golden Globe Awards not airing until January 11 this year, the Critics Choice Awards step into the spotlight as the first major televised ceremony of 2026, giving studios and contenders a crucial early boost. 

Critics Choice Association CEO Joey Berlin called the awards ‘a celebration of the very best in film and television,’ adding that the group’s voters help guide audiences toward standout storytelling each year. 

Leading the pack this year is Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, which scored a jaw-dropping 17 nominations across film and television categories – just one shy of Barbie’s record-breaking 18 nods in 2024.

Close behind are One Battle After Another with 14 nominations, and Hamnet and Frankenstein, which each earned 11.

The Best Actor race in film is stacked, with Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme), Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Michael B. Jordan (Sinners) and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent) battling it out.

Best Actress nominees include Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another), Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value), Amanda Seyfried (The Testament of Ann Lee) and Emma Stone (Bugonia).

In the supporting categories, Best Supporting Actor contenders feature Benicio Del Toro (One Battle After Another), Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein), Paul Mescal (Hamnet), Sean Penn (One Battle After Another), Adam Sandler (Jay Kelly) and Stellan Skarsgård (Sentimental Value).

Comedy categories bring familiar favorites and breakout turns, with nominees such as Adam Brody and Kristen Bell (Nobody Wants This), Ted Danson (A Man on the Inside), Jean Smart (Hacks), Danny McBride (The Righteous Gemstones) and Seth Rogen (The Studio).

Also on the TV side, Adolescence leads with six nominations, followed closely by Nobody Wants This with five. 

Heavy hitters like The Diplomat, Hacks, The Pitt, All Her Fault and Ghosts also made strong showings. 

Studio powerhouses are equally competitive, with Warner Bros. leading film nominations and Netflix dominating the television field.

This year’s ceremony also introduces four new categories –  including best variety series, casting, stunt design and sound.

On the red carpet, expect a parade of A-listers.

The Critics Choice Awards were launched in 1995 by the Broadcast Film Critics Association, originally a small group of around 60 film journalists dedicated to honoring cinematic excellence. 

Over time, the organization expanded to include television and streaming categories, with past winners like La La Land, Nomadland and Everything Everywhere All at Once frequently continuing on to Oscar glory. 

What began as a modest industry gathering has since evolved into a major red-carpet event at the Barker Hangar, drawing hundreds of stars and live audiences eager for the season’s first big wins. 

The 31st Critics Choice Awards also mark Handler’s return to E!, the network that was home to her talk show for eight years. 

In recent years, the ceremony has seen a rotating roster of hosts, including Taye Diggs, who helmed the show from 2019 to 2021, and co-hosted the 2022 ceremony alongside Nicole Byer. 

Past hosts have also included Olivia Munn, T.J. Miller, Michael Strahan, Aisha Tyler, Kristin Chenoweth and D.L. Hughley. 

Actor Eric McCormack served as the ceremony’s first-ever host in 2005. 

The 31st annual Critics Choice Awards will air live on USA Network and E! on Sunday, January 4, beginning at 7 p.m. ET.
