The Critics Choice Awards were held on February 7, 2025, in Santa Monica, with comedian Chelsea Handler hosting the ceremony (for the third time) from the Barker Hangar. “I was the only woman hosting a late-night show and now, 11 years later, look how far we’ve come,” she joked during the ceremony, per E! News. “In 2025, the easiest way to get a late night talk show as a woman is to have the creators of Hacks write a fictional story about it.”
Many nominations for the prestigious awards echo choices from the 2025 Golden Globe awards and the upcoming Oscars. Below, HollywoodLife has compiled the winners in the top categories.
