Previously announced, creator/showrunner Chuck Lorre will receive the Critics’ Choice Creative Achievement Award while actress Claire Foy will accept the third-ever #SeeHer Award.
If Beale Street Could Talk actress Regina King quotes James Baldwin in accepting the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress: “We can make America what America must become.”
In accepting the #SeeHer Award, actress Claire Foy said: “There’s no such thing as just the wife.”
The cast of The Favourite could not make it because they were engaged in a high-stakes race with a duck.
Darren Criss: “Statistically, inevitably, the critiques will not always be this generous.” He apologizes for future performances that turn out to be lackluster.
Amy Adams insisted that the other winner be on stage before giving a speech.
Ben Stiller has a fun time while presenting Best Actress and Actor in a Comedy. He goes as far as to present what could have been Olivia Colman’s speech for The Favourite. He keeps praising film editing.
Christian Bale: “I guess it’s been put in a comedy…it’s really a tragedy.” He thanks the HFPA. He thanks the doctors for fattening him up while remaining healthy as well as teaching him how to have a heart attack. “I want to thank Louis Armstrong because why not. Everybody should thank Louis Armstrong.” “Oh, bloody hell, my team!”
The cast of The Big Bang Theory present series creator Chuck Lorre with the Critics’ Choice Creative Achievement Award by reading from the vanity cards.
Rachel Brosnahan to Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino: “I will thank you guys for as long as I live.”
It’s the sixth and final season of The Americans so they’re thanking everyone possible.
Amy Sherman-Palladino thanks her mom, who is celebrating a birthday today.
Best Actress winner Glenn Close is thrilled that it’s a tie. “I think I can speak for all the women in the room–we celebrate each other and we are proud to be in this room together.”
Lady Gaga: “I’m so very honored that she won this.” Upon starting to get played off stage: “It’s okay. I can still do this with a piano background.” She dedicates the win to all people who have suffered from alcoholism addiction and to all those loved ones who saw their loved ones suffer.
Christian Bale on the second win: “I always admire people who are willing to make a fool of themselves.” “In your life, it’s great to be recognized for it.” “There’s really no competition. It’s a celebration. I celebrate this with all of you.”
Alfonso Cuarón on winning Best Picture: “This is really amazing.” “This bunch of Mexicans are not as bad as sometimes they are portrayed.”
Some of the winners weren’t announced on stage but during the commercial break. I’m doing the best to keep up with those because they’re blink-and-you-miss it.
A highlight from the Blue Carpet: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star Rachel Bloom on the series coming to an end: “I don’t like it when TV shows last longer than they should.”
