No single movie dominated the 30th Critics Choice Awards. Wicked, Emilia Pérez, and The Substance led the pack with three awards each. Anora won best picture, but earned no other awards.
Surprisingly, Jon M. Cho won best director for Wicked, beating directors I saw as frontrunners: Jacques Audiard (Emilia Pérez), Sean Baker (Anora), and Brady Corbet (The Brutalist).
The acting awards seemed to follow a more predictable arc with Adrien Brody (The Brutalist) and Demi Moore (The Substance) winning best actor and actress awards. Kiren Culkin (A Real Pain) and Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Pérez) scored victories in the supporting-actor category.
The Critics Choice Awards sometimes have served as a bellwether for the Academy Awards. This year's awards may help you with Oscar predictions -- but not in the best-director category. Chu (Wicked) won the Critics Choice award for best director. Oscar snubbed him in its best-director category.
