Hosted by Chelsea Handler for the fourth year in a row, this year’s Critics’ Choice Awards ceremony was once again held at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica Airport, California. <\/p>\n

Sinners<\/a> was poised to win big in the film categories, leading with 17 nominations including Best Picture and Best Director. Both categories were ultimately won by One Battle After Another<\/a>, which had racked up the second highest number of nominations at 14, followed by Hamnet<\/a> and Frankenstein<\/a> with 11 each. However, Ryan Coogler’s vampire film didn’t go home emptyhanded. Sinners scored four wins all up, including Best Original Screenplay, Best Casting and Ensemble, Best Score, and Best Young Actor\/Actress (Miles Caton).<\/p>\n
