The 26th annual Critics Choice Awards may have gone virtual this year but Netflix took home the most wins between film and TV.
The Critics Choice Awards are bestowed annually to honor the finest in cinematic and television achievement. Historically, these awards are the most accurate predictor of Academy Award nominations. It’s almost a safe bet by now that Nomadland will take home Best Picture in April. Chadwick Boseman and Daniel Kaluuya also seem like safe locks, too. The big question in the other acting categories are if Carey Mulligan and Maria Bakalova will repeat their wins on Oscar Sunday.
