‘Roma,’ ‘The Americans’ and ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ Win Top Critics’ Choice Honors

By Kristopher Tapley

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – “Roma” won best picture and director for Alfonso Cuarón at the 24th annual Critics’ Choice Awards Sunday night. The film also won best cinematography and best foreign film. FX’s “The Americans” and Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” took top TV honors.

For films, “Vice” star Christian Bale won lead actor, while Lady Gaga (“A Star Is Born”) and Glenn Close (“The Wife”) tied in lead actress. Lady Gaga also won the best song prize, for “Shallow.” Mahershala Ali (“Green Book”) and Regina King (“If Beale Street Could Talk”) won in the supporting categories.

Screenplay awards went to Paul Schrader (“First Reformed”) and Barry Jenkins (“If Beale Street Could Talk”), while “Eighth Grade” star Elsie Fisher won the young actor/actress award.

In the comedy categories, “Crazy Rich Asians” took top honors, with Bale and Olivia Colman (“The Favorite”) claiming acting prizes. “Mission: Impossible — Fallout” won the action movie award.

“Black Panther” reigned in the crafts fields, winning for costume design, production design and visual effects. “First Man” won a pair, for editing and score. “Vice” won for hair and makeup.

The year’s most nominated film, “The Favourite” only won one other prize, for best ensemble.

The Broadcast Film Critics Assn., which presents the show’s movie awards, tends to be a strong bellwether for the Oscars, largely because it’s the only organization of its size to vote on movie superlatives in the run-up to the annual Academy Awards. You begin to see how the season’s various contenders play out with a vast organization as opposed to the numerous, smaller regional organizations and the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. (which presents the Golden Globes).

On the television side, “The Americans” won the drama series prize from the Broadcast Television Journalists Assn., along with lead actor Matthew Rhys and supporting actor Noah Emmerich, while “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” reigned in comedy, bringing lead actress Rachel Brosnaham and supporting actress Alex Borstein with it. FX’s “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” won the limited series/TV movie award, with star Darren Criss picking up the lead actor honor for the category.

For “Barry,” Bill Hader and Henry Winkler won the lead and supporting actor comedy honors, while Sandra Oh (“Killing Eve”) won drama actress. Thandie Newton won supporting actress in a drama for “Westworld.”

Amy Adams (“Sharp Objects”) and Patricia Arquette (“Escape at Dannemora”) tied for lead actress in a limited series or TV movie. “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert” won best TV movie.

“The Queen” and “First Man” star Claire Foy received the #SeeHer award, presented to “a woman who pushes boundaries to help change stereotypes and recognize the importance of authentic portrayals of women across the entertainment landscape. “The Big Bang Theory” creator Chuck Lorre, meanwhile, received the Creative Achievement award, recognizing a body of work that stands out for its sustained excellence over a period of decades.

The 24th annual ceremony was broadcast on The CW Network. See below for a full list of winners and nominees.
