We're just five days into the new year, and awards season has already begun. Last night, the biggest names in film and TV gathered at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, for the Critics Choice Awards 2026 - and what a night it was. On the red carpet, Hacks stars Megan Stalter and Paul W. Downs went viral for recreating one of the best fashion moments of 2025, donning a bright orange tribute to Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. And in a moment that made an even bigger splash on social media, the Marty Supreme star's Best Actor acceptance speech included a sweet nod to his makeup mogul girlfriend.
But who else went home with one of the coveted statuettes from the Critics Choice Awards 2026? Jacob Elordi triumphed in the Best Supporting Actor category for his performance in Frankenstein, while Hamnet's Jessie Buckley accepted the accolade for Best Actress. Sarah Snook also went home with an award, winning Best Actress in a Limited Series for her role in All Her Fault, while one of the biggest Netflix hits of last year, Adolescence, won the Best Limited Series. And, for any parents who spent the majority of 2025 listening to the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, the film won Best Animated Feature.
Here's the full list of winners from the Critics Choice Awards 2026.
