The 2020 Critics’ Choice Awards honoring both film and television projects were presented Sunday night in Santa Monica, with Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” winning the award for Best Picture.

Critics’ favorites Joaquin Phoenix and Renee Zellweger took home the trophies for Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively, for their work in “Joker” and “Judy.” Supporting Actor went to Brad Pitt for his role in “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” and Laura Dern for the Netflix drama “Marriage Story.” Those are the same four acting winners as at last weekend’s Golden Globes.

The cast of “The Irishman” won for Best Acting Ensemble, with Best Original Screenplay going to Tarantino for “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” and Best Adapted Screenplay to Greta Gerwig for “Little Women.”

Best Comedy was awarded to “Dolemite Is My Name,” Best Action Movie to “Avengers: Endgame,” Best Animated Movie to “Toy Story 4,” Best Sci-Fi Horror Movie to “Us” and Best Foreign Language Film to “Parasite.”

HBO was the victor on the small screen front, with “Succession” winning Best Drama Series and Best Actor for Jeremy Strong, Best Actress in a Drama for Regina King and Best Supporting Actress for Jean Smart for their work in “Watchmen,” and Bill Hader for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his performance in “Barry.”

“Fleabag” earned a trio of awards – for Best Comedy Series, Best Actress in a Comedy for Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for Andrew Scott.

The show also presented a Lifetime Achievement Award to Eddie Murphy, who is also nominated for “Dolemite Is My Name,” and give the fourth annual #SeeHer Award to actress Kristen Bell.

The Critics’ Choice Awards are voted on by the members of the Critics Choice Organization, which was consolidated in the past year from the combined membership of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association. The organization is made up of more than 400 television, radio and internet critics and journalists. (TheWrap’s Steve Pond, Beatrice Verhoeven and Tony Maglio are members.)

While the true indicators of who has the upper hand in a tight Oscar race will come with the Producers Guild Awards on Jan. 18, the SAG Awards on the 19th the Directors Guild Awards on the 25th, the Critics’ Choice Awards pride themselves on being an accurate predictor of the Oscars.

In recent years, about 70% of CCA winners have gone on to receive the Academy Award. The two shows have 18 categories in common, and the number of matching winners has ranged from a high of 16 in 2014 and 2018 to a low of only eight in 2015. Last year, Critics’ Choice voters went with the eventual Oscar winner in only 10 categories, missing picture, actor, actress and both screenplay categories, among others.

The Critics’ Choice winner has gone on to win the Oscar Best Picture 14 times in the CCA’s first 24 years, and six times in the last 10 years.

Taye Diggs hosted the show, which was broadcast on the CW Network.
