Critics Choice Awards Winners 2025


The 30th annual Critics Choice Awards are underway Friday at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, launching a ceremony that had twice been postponed due to the L.A. wildfires that wreaked havoc on the city the past month.

Chelsea Handler returns to host for a third consecutive year in a show that will air live on the East Coast at 7 p.m. ET, and be tape delayed in the West until 7 p.m. PT on E! in the debut of a new deal with the network and Peacock. The show will air on the streamer beginning Saturday.

Check out the winners list below for the 21 movie and 20 TV categories in play and keep checking back as we update it throughout the evening.

Focus Features’ Conclave and Universal’s Wicked come into the night with a leading 11 nominations apiece, followed by Dune: Part Two and Emilia Pérez with 10 in a ceremony that traditionally has served as a good Oscar bellwether. Last year, eventual Best Picture Oscar winner Oppenheimer scored a leading eight wins including the marquee Best Picture prize.

Conclave, Wicked, Dune: Part Two and Emilia Pérez are nominated in that category this year alongside A Complete Unknown, Anora, The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, Sing Sing and The Substance. All but Sing Sing are up for the same award at the Oscars.

On the TV side, FX’s Emmy juggernaut Shōgun leads the way with six nominations, followed by ABC’s Abbott Elementary, Apple TV+’s Disclaimer, HBO | Max’s Hacks and The Penguin, Netflix’s The Diplomat and the final season of FX’s What We Do in the Shadows all with four noms.
