Critics’ Choice Awards for the year 2022 were given out on Sunday, March 13. These awards are given by American-Canadian Critics Choice Association and they honour the best in film and TV. The ceremony is usually held in mid-January. This year, it was rescheduled due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and newer variants of the coronavirus.
The awards ceremony was hosted by Taye Diggs and Nicole Byer. This is the fourth consecutive time Diggs has hosted the Critics’ Choice Awards ceremony.
Going in, movies Belfast and West Side Story were tied for the most number of nominations with 11 nods, trailed by Dune and The Power of the Dog with 10 nods each.
In TV shows, Succession was at the top with 8 nominations, followed by Evil and Mare of Easttown with 5 nods each.
While The Power of the Dog emerged as the big winner among movies with 4 wins, Ted Lasso received the most trophies (also 4) among television shows.
