Netflix’s “The Power of the Dog” won best picture and best director for Jane Campion at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday.
Jessica Chastain won for her title role in “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” while Will Smith won for playing Serena and Venus Williams’ dad in “King Richard.” Smith gave high-fives to the two tennis stars, who were producers on the film, before hitting the stage to accept the award. “You define the American dream,” he told the film’s subjects.
“CODA” star Troy Kotsur and “West Side Story” star Ariana DeBose both won best supporting acting awards, just hours after winning the same categories at the British Academy Film Awards on Sunday. Kotsur and DeBose both accepted their Critics Choice trophies by satellite from London’s Savoy Hotel.
“I send you my heart and love,” said Kotsur, speaking in American Sign Language by satellite to the audience assembled at Los Angeles’ Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel.
DeBose gave thanks to her “West Side Story” co-star, 90-year-old Rita Moreno, also nominated in the category.
“You made space for me to thrive beside you,” said DeBose. “That’s the greatest gift.”
BAFTA Awards: ‘The Power of the Dog’ wins best picture, Will Smith takes best actor
The Critics Choice Awards have taken on greater importance in the Oscar race in light of the collapse of the Golden Globes, which were not televised this year as a result of backlash around the scandal-ridden awards program.
Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” and Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast” led the 27th annual Critics Choice Awards film nominations, earning 11 each. Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic “Dune” and Jane Campion’s Netflix Western “The Power of the Dog,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch, followed closely with 10 nominations.
The Academy Awards are March 27.
