Here are all the winners from the 2025 Critics Choice Awards

The Substance, Wicked, Deadpool & Wolverine, and many more split the trophies at tonight's CCAs, with Anora taking home top honors.

Here are all the winners from the 2025 Critics Choice Awards

The Critics Choice Association got together for its 30th annual Critics Choice Awards tonight, with host Chelsea Handler leading the festivities while celebrity presenters let the world know what American and Canadian film and television reviewers thought were the best offerings of this year’s crop. (The CCAs are one of those awards shows that don’t feel required to confine themselves to one artistic medium or the other.)

And, credit to the voters, they managed to split tonight’s wins up enough that there really wasn’t one dominant force on display (except maybe Shōgun, which took Best Drama Series, but was kept from a clean sweep in its acting categories by the power of Kathy Bates’ Matlock). Wicked got its laurels for its production design and directing, Challengers took home awards for editing and its score, and Anora somehow took home Best Picture without winning in a single other category. That spirit of equanimity even extended all the way down to the voters’ picks for also-ran category Best Comedy, which came out as a tie between two very different takes on the buddy comedy formula, A Real Pain and Deadpool & Wolverine. The TV side of things also saw big victories for HacksBaby Reindeer, and The Penguin, with the latter scoring a well-deserved acting win for Cristin Milioti, and a “Hey, he sure tried hard” acting win for co-star Colin Farrell. (We kid. We sort of kid.) Oh, and a Best Animated Series win for X-Men ’97, always amusing given Disney’s current public relations war with series creator and head writer Beau DeMayo.

You can see the full list of tonight’s winners below; meanwhile, if you want to watch the ceremony online, it’ll be available for streaming on Peacock starting on Saturday.
