Critics Choice Awards 2026 Winners - The Complete List

The winners of the 31st annual Critics' Choice Awards were revealed during a live ceremony hosted by Chelsea Handler at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.

While Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" won three of the big awards (Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay), it was actually Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" and Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" that scored the most wins with four trophies each. Other winners include "KPop Demon Hunters", "F1", "The Secret Agent", "The Naked Gun", "Avatar: Fire and Ash", "Train Dreams" and "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning".

Timothee Chalamet won Best Actor for his performance in "Marty Supreme", Jessie Buckley won for "Hamnet", and Amy Madigan took home the Supporting Actress trophy for her villainous turn in "Weapons".

In the television categories, the big winners were "The Pitt" and "The Studio" with three wins each. Rhea Seehorn won Best Actress for Vince Gilligan's new sci-fi show "Pluribus", and Jean Smart won for "Hacks". Netflix's "Adolescence" dominated the limited series categories with four wins.
