Cate Blanchett collected one of the biggest Critics' Choice Awards gongs of the ceremony on Sunday evening but still had time to call for the scrapping of the televised event.
The Australian actor, 53, was one of six nominees for the Best Actress award alongside Viola Davis (The Woman King), Danielle Deadwyler (Till), Margot Robbie (Babylon), Michelle Williams (The Fabelmans) and Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
She pipped them to award for her performance as disgraced composer Lydia Tár in Tar for her third Best Actress win of her career at the 28th Critics Choice Awards following victories in 1991 (Elizabeth) and 2014 (Blue Jasmine).
