Critics Choice Awards: Joaquin Phoenix wins Best Actor while Fleabag continues to dominate TV categories
The 25th annual Critics’ Choice Awards gala took place on Sunday night (13 January), with Quentin Tarantino‘s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood taking home the biggest prize, for Best Picture.
The film scooped a further three awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Brad Pitt, Best Original Screenplay for Tarantino, and Best Production Design for Barbara Ling and Nancy Haigh.
The ceremony, which was hosted by Taye Diggs, also saw a number of accolades go to HBO and Netflix, with Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman and Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story both receiving some of the top awards.
Meanwhile, Fleabag continued to dominate the TV categories, winning Best Comedy Series, Best Actress in a Comedy Series for Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Andrew Scott, who played the “hot priest”.
Sam Mendes tied for Best Director with Bong Joon-ho, for their films 1917 and Parasite. Joaquin Phoenix continued his awards success with a Best Actor nod, as did Renee Zellweger, who won Best Actress for her performance in Judy.
In his speech, Phoenix thanked his mother for being his “greatest inspiration”.
“I need to thank my mum,” he began. “Mum, you’ve always been my greatest inspiration, even when self-pity led me astray. You’ve never given up on me and I deeply appreciate your support.”
