Tonight, the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards took place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, kicking off an exciting awards season to come. Over the next few months, Hollywood’s top stars will be vying for top acting trophies all the way from critics to the Golden Globes and Oscars, of course.
Tonight’s 31st annual Film Critics Awards will be hosted by comedian Chelsea Handler (for the fourth year in a row) and will celebrate some of the year’s best film and television performances. On the list of A-list nominees? Actors from this year’s biggest movies, including Marty SupreTimothée Chalamet, HamnetJesse Buckley, BugoniaEmma Stone, and evil: doing goodAriana Grande and more.
Even better, all of these big names will be hitting the red carpet before the show, which means classic Hollywood glamor is sure to have good results. The Critics’ Choice Awards have a history of stars having fun with their looks: It’s decidedly a less stressful awards show than the Golden Globes or Oscars, which means celebrities try out and look laid-back. Last year, for example, stars like Nicole Kidman opted for sleek Saint Laurent suits, while Michelle Yeoh made a statement in a sporty Balenciaga gown.
