Critics Choice Awards Analysis: Are ‘One Battle,’ Jacob Elordi and Amy Madigan Wins Reliable Oscar Bellwethers?

[ad_1]

A lot of attention is being paid to the results of Sunday evening’s Critics Choice Awards, from which I have just returned home. Among the most notable: One Battle After Another was recognized with best picture, best director (Paul Thomas Anderson) and best adapted screenplay (Anderson) prizes, while Marty Supreme’s Timothée Chalamet won best actor and Hamnet’s Jessie Buckley won best actress and, in outcomes that were less widely predicted, best supporting actor went to Frankenstein’s Jacob Elordi and best supporting actress went to Weapons’ Amy Madigan.

To all of the above individuals, congratulations on well-deserved recognition! But the question on everyone’s mind — including, I’m sure, theirs — is this: do the results of the Critics Choice Awards actually tend to predict the results of the Academy Awards? The answer is tricky…

Critics Choice Award winners are determined by some 600 critics and journalists who are members of the Critics Choice Association (full disclosure: I’m one of them), whereas Oscar winners are determined by some 11,000 people who actually work on films. Plus, the vast majority of CCA members are based in America, whereas one-quarter of Academy members are based outside of the country. In other words, there is virtually no overlap between the membership of the two groups, save for Leonard Maltin.

That being said, because the Critics Choice Awards is the first major televised awards show of the season, coverage of its winners — via the live broadcast and subsequently in articles, photographs, social media posts and the like — reaches quite a few Academy members, and may, consciously or not, shape their thinking about what/who is worthy of their time (they have to decide which movies to prioritize watching) and support as they head in to the Oscar nomination voting window of Jan. 12-16.

But on that note, one needs to remember that most critics and journalists who cover film see, as part of their job, everything, or at least a lot more films than most Academy members, especially since the Academy’s recent influx of people who are younger and still highly active in their careers, leaving them less time to, well, watch movies. As a result, the CCA tends to spread its votes around a lot of projects (it also has six nominees in most categories, while the Academy has only five), whereas the Academy tends to do a lot more coattail voting (ticking off people from the same film straight down the ballot).

In some years, the CCA truly is an early indicator of which way the wind is blowing — last year, for instance, it was the first major awards body to give its top prize to Anora, two days before the Producers Guild and Directors Guild did the same, followed by the Academy. And in some years, the CCA and the Academy agree of a lot of things — eight years ago, both groups picked the exact same winners for their their six highest-profile awards — best picture, director, actor, actress, supporting actor and supporting actress.

Most of the time, though, the groups diverge, in those six categories, on at least one or two categories, so I decided to put under the microscope the past decade of results to see what they tell us…

Best picture
Overlaps: Six — Spotlight, The Shape of Water, Nomadland, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Oppenheimer and Anora
Splits: Four — CCA went with La La Land, Academy went with Moonlight; CCA went with Roma, Academy went with Green Book; CCA went with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Academy went with Parasite; CCA went with The Power of the Dog, Academy went with CODA
Pattern: To me, the interesting splits are the two in which there was a marked difference between the winners: see Roma/Green Brook and The Power of the Dog/CODA. CCA went with the highbrow choice, while the Academy went with the populist choice. This makes sense given not only the groups’ different constituencies, but also that the CCA uses a straight vote to pick its best picture winners, which can redound to the benefit of a polarizing film, whereas the Academy employs a preferential ballot, which boosts films that most people at least like.
Bottom line: I suppose One Battle could be vulnerable to some of the same things that probably derailed two other critical and commercial successes between the Critics Choice Awards and the Oscars, La La Land (the challenge of maintaining frontrunner status through a long season) and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (a non-English-language of wide appeal). Plus, Sinners and Hamnet should both fare pretty well on the Academy’s preferential ballot. But, on the heels of three consecutive years in which the two groups overlapped on their best picture winner, the smartest Oscar bet remains One Battle.

Best director
Overlaps: Eight — La La Land’s Damien Chazelle, The Shape of Water’s Guillermo del Toro, Roma’s Alfonso Cuarón, Parasite’s Bong Joon-ho (tied with 1917’s Sam Mendes), Nomadland’s Chloé Zhao, The Power of the Dog’s Jane Campion, Everything Everywhere All at Once’s Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert and Oppenheimer’s Christopher Nolan
Splits: Two — CCA went with Mad Max: Fury Road’s George Miller, Academy went with The Revenant’s Alejandro G. Inarritu; and CCA went with Wicked’s Jon M. Chu, Academy went with Anora’s Sean Baker
Pattern: Both groups tend to treat this award as a place to recognize the filmmaker who had the greatest directorial challenge and/or is overdue (e.g. Cuarón, del Toro, Campion, Nolan).
Bottom line: PTA — who is revered by fellow filmmakers, is certainly overdue for an Oscar, and is not exactly asking for pity votes for a so-so film with One Battle — is very likely to repeat at the Oscars. In fact, I think he is even likelier to win best director than his film is to win best picture. Plus, there’s a very real chance that Oscar voters will choose to recognize his primary competitors, Hamnet’s Chloe Zhao and Sinners’ Ryan Coogler, with the best adapted screenplay and best original screenplay awards, respectively, so all three would take home statuettes.

Best actor
Overlaps: Seven — The Revenant’s Leonardo DiCaprio, Manchester by the Sea’s Casey Affleck, Darkest Hour’s Gary Oldman, Joker’s Joaquin Phoenix, King Richard’s Will Smith, The Whale’s Brendan Fraser and The Brutalist’s Adrien Brody
Splits: Three — CCA went with Vice’s Christian Bale, Academy went with Bohemian Rhapsody’s Rami Malek; CCA went with Black Panther’s Chadwick Boseman, Academy went with The Father’s Anthony Hopkins; and CCA went with The Holdovers’ Paul Giamatti, Academy went with Oppenheimer’s Cillian Murphy
Pattern: None discernible.
Bottom line: Chalamet gives the performance of his career in Marty Supreme, and could well be on his way to a repeat of his Critics Choice win at the Oscars, where he would be up for best actor for the second year in a row and third time overall. I don’t think that one can make a stronger argument for the prospects of anyone else at this time. But I would just caution that the Academy has only once, in nearly a century of the Oscars, given its best actor prize to someone younger than Chalamet, who just turned 30 (Adrien Brody, who was 29 when he won for The Pianist). Fairly or not, many Academy members feel that someone that young will have other chances in the future, and elect to instead reward someone with a larger body of work. Could Chalamet be derailed by One Battle’s Leonardo DiCaprio, even though DiCaprio already has a best actor Oscar to his name, because One Battle seems to have been more widely embraced by Oscar voters than Marty Supreme? Or by The Secret Agent’s Wagner Moura, on the back of significant international support? Or by Sinners’ Michael B. Jordan, who had as challenging an assignment as anyone, playing twins? Or by Blue Moon’s Ethan Hawke, who has been around a long time and never been recognized? Time will tell.

Best actress
Overlaps: Five — Room’s Brie Larson, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’s Frances McDormand, Judy’s Renée Zellweger, The Eyes of Tammy Faye’s Jessica Chastain and Poor Things’ Emma Stone
Splits: Five — CCA went with Jackie’s Natalie Portman, Academy went with La La Land’s Emma Stone; CCA went with The Wife’s Glenn Close and A Star Is Born’s Lady Gaga (tie), Academy went with The Favourite’s Olivia Colman; CCA went with Promising Young Woman’s Carey Mulligan, Academy went with Nomadland’s Frances McDormand; CCA went with Tár’s Cate Blanchett, Academy went with Everything Everywhere All at Once’s Michelle Yeoh; and CCA went with The Substance’s Demi Moore, Academy went with Anora’s Mikey Madison
Pattern: Here is where we can really see evidence of coattail voting by Academy members — in every instance of a split, the CCA’s pick was either (a) not in a best picture nominee and lost at the Oscars to someone who was or (b) was in a best picture nominee and lost at the Oscars to someone from a more popular best picture nominee.
Bottom line: The good news for Buckley is that there are only two films that might be regarded as stronger best picture contenders than Hamnet — One Battle and Sinners — and they have only one best actress contender between them, Chase Infiniti, who makes her big screen debut in One Battle. For Infiniti, who is just 25, a nom would be a win. Buckley’s path looks pretty clear.

Best supporting actor
Overlaps: Nine — Moonlight’s Mahershala Ali, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’s Sam Rockwell, Green Book’s Mahershala Ali, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’s Brad Pitt, Judas and the Black Messiah’s Daniel Kaluuya, CODA’s Troy Kotsur, Everything Everywhere All at Once’s Ke Huy Quan, Oppenheimer’s Robert Downey Jr. and A Real Pain’s Kieran Culkin
Splits: One — CCA went with Creed’s Sylvester Stallone, Academy went with Bridge of Spies’ Mark Rylance
Pattern: The last nine Critics Choice and Oscar winners in this category overlapped, which is a pretty remarkable track record. Both groups seem drawn to breakthrough performers (e.g. Ali, Kotsur and Kaluuya) and overdue veterans (e.g. Rockwell, Pitt and Downey), whether or not they are in best picture winners (of the overlapping nine, five were and four weren’t).
Bottom line: Critics Choice winner Elordi is certainly a breakthrough performer, and there is nothing that the Academy loves and tends to reward more than a good-looking person who undergoes a giant physical transformation for a part that leaves them looking less good-looking, as he did, so there’s a certain logic to him winning. But only one person younger than the 28-year-old has ever won an Oscar in this category — Ordinary People’s Timothy Hutton, who was just 20 — in part because, I suspect, one can only have made so many relationships in the business at such a young age. That’s a big part of why I would still look out, at the Oscars, for Sentimental Value‘s Stellan Skarsgård, who most expected to win at the Critics Choice Awards. The 74-year-old is a well-liked and respected veteran who, like Elordi, is central to a likely best picture nominee, but unlike Elordi, has worked with countless fellow filmmakers all across the world over the course of his decades-long career. Consider the number of collaborators he has had on just the MCU, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mamma Mia! and Dune film franchises!

Best supporting actress
Overlaps: Eight — The Danish Girl’s Alicia Vikander, Fences’ Viola Davis, I, Tonya’s Allison Janney, If Beale Street Could Talk’s Regina King, Marriage Story’s Laura Dern, West Side Story’s Ariana DeBose, The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Emilia Pérez’s Zoë Saldaña
Splits: Two — CCA went with Borat Subsequent Moviefilm’s Maria Bakalova, Academy went with Minari’s Youn Yuh-jung; and CCA went with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s Angela Bassett, Academy went Everything Everywhere All at Once’s Jamie Lee Curtis
Pattern: None discernible.
Bottom line: For Wicked: For Good’s Ariana Grande and One Battle’s Teyana Taylor, losing at the Critics Choice Awards to Madigan has to hurt, because members of the Academy are even more inclined than members of the CCA to reward a veteran. In other words, if Madigan can beat them here, she can beat them there. Moving forward, the best hope for Grande and/or Taylor is that they will benefit from coattail voting — their films are likelier to be nominated for best picture than Madigan’s is — but even that may not be enough to help them overcome Madigan’s “overdue” narrative: the 75-year-old, who has given dozens of memorable performances, but received her only prior Oscar nomination 40 years ago, says movie offers had largely dried up for her as she got older, and she had basically come to terms with being out of the game — but then she got offered an off-the-wall part, took a huge swing and is now winning awards for it.

Critics Choice to Oscars: Does ‘One Battle After Another’ Need Acting or Tech Wins? Is Jacob Elordi the New Frontrunner?

[ad_1]

The 31st Critics Choice Awards winners both reflected where much of the industry sees the Oscar race — and, in key ways, upended it.

With the Golden Globes arriving next Sunday night and Oscar nomination voting opening the next day on Monday morning, the CCA ceremony served as one of the final, meaningful data points before Academy members begin filling out ballots. In that context, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” sweeping best picture, director and adapted screenplay sends an unmistakable message to the rest of the field: this is the film to beat. Historically, that combination is Oscar catnip — a filmmaker-driven vision paired with broad, cross-branch support.

In the preferential-ballot era, breadth routinely defeats intensity, and “One Battle After Another” now looks like the title most capable of surviving every round of redistribution.

And yet, the sweep also comes with a built-in asterisk. Critics don’t vote for the Oscars. That has long been my No. 1 rule of awards prognosticating, and it still applies. But when a film satisfies critics while simultaneously delivering craft-forward storytelling that appeals to Academy voters across demographics, it becomes exceedingly difficult to dislodge. Expect “One Battle After Another” to gain real momentum as Oscar nominations approach, particularly in the crafts categories — and if it can retain some traction for its acting contenders, including Chase Infiniti and possibly tack on an additional piece of recognition like Regina Hall.

A central question emerging now is whether “One Battle After Another” can complete Paul Thomas Anderson’s trifecta without also winning an acting or craft category. Historically, that path is rare. The last two films to win best picture without at least acting or crafts attached — “The Greatest Show on Earth” (1952) and “Spotlight” (2015). With Variety projecting “One Battle After Another” to approach the upper tier of all-time nomination totals, a scenario in which it converts so lightly on Oscar night would feel counterintuitive for a film that currently reads as inevitable. A more plausible outcome may resemble “The Shape of Water” (2017), which paired picture and director wins with selective below-the-line support.

Still, this race is far from settled. Warner Bros. led all studios overall, thanks in large part to “Sinners,” which co-led all films with four wins: original screenplay for Ryan Coogler, best young actor for Miles Caton, best casting and ensemble, and best score for Ludwig Göransson. That package suggests something a bit more than passion — it hints at a possible coalition. If “Sinners” can carry this momentum through the Golden Globes and convert it into support from SAG, the Writers Guild and other major guilds, it could emerge as the season’s late-breaking spoiler.

Academy voters have repeatedly shown a willingness to reward bold originality when paired with technical achievement, and “Sinners” is beginning to look like this year’s version of that formula. The original screenplay win is particularly notable. This is a category where the Academy frequently diverges from critics, often favoring dialogue-driven work over structural innovation. Coogler’s win shows the film has broken through in ways that could translate directly onto Oscar ballots, especially within the writers branch, which consistently punches above its weight in the best picture race.

Netflix’s “Frankenstein” also walked away with four prizes, highlighted by a surprising best supporting actor win for Jacob Elordi as the Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s gothic epic. Until now, Elordi had claimed only two critics prizes this season — from the New York Film Critics Online and the Oklahoma Film Critics Circle — raising two immediate questions. Did he just solidify a nomination slot after weeks of being viewed as fringe behind Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, Stellan Skarsgård and Paul Mescal? Or did we witness the Critics Choice version of the Aaron Taylor-Johnson effect, referencing his Golden Globe win for “Nocturnal Animals” that ultimately failed to translate to an Oscar nomination?

The major difference here is meaningful. “Frankenstein” is far more firmly embedded in the best picture conversation than “Nocturnal Animals” ever was. And crucially, no Critics Choice winner for best supporting actor has ever gone on to miss an Oscar nomination. On that basis alone, Elordi now looks safely in the lineup (at least pending SAG noms next week). Whether he becomes a serious win threat is a separate discussion — one that hinges on follow-through at the Golden Globes and BAFTA. Should that happen, the race will recalibrate quickly.

The acting races elsewhere remain fluid. Jessie Buckley’s win for portraying Agnes Shakespeare in Chloé Zhao’s grief-soaked drama “Hamnet” came with the most emotionally resonant speech of the night and offers voters a clear, focused way to reward a film that may come up short in best picture, given Buckley was the sole win for the movie. Her two closest competitors — Renate Reinsve and Rose Byrne — will have to play major catch up down the road if they want to catch Buckley.

Timothée Chalamet’s best actor win for “Marty Supreme” further strengthens his frontrunner status heading into the Globes, where the organization’s genre-friendly body could amplify his lead.

But it is never that simple. At 30, Chalamet would become the second youngest best actor winner in Oscar history — and now, he’s the youngest ever to win Critics Choice. Remember, this is the same Academy that made Leonardo DiCaprio wait until 41 to decide to throw him a bone for climbing into a dead carcass in “The Revenant” (2015). This race has been tightly contested all season, with Chalamet trading critics wins with Michael B. Jordan for “Sinners,” while Ethan Hawke remains a serious factor for “Blue Moon” and DiCaprio stars in the best picture frontrunner. CCA history offers some cautionary tales: Critics Choice winners Chadwick Boseman (“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”), Christian Bale (“Vice”) and Michael Keaton (“Birdman”) are among those who lost their Oscars despite entering as perceived “no brainers.”

Amy Madigan’s supporting actress win for “Weapons” was expected by many pundits, but questions remain about whether the Oscars are willing to reward a genre performance (especially one this cool) — and particularly if she emerges as the film’s sole nominee. If “Weapons” fails to land any additional noms such as casting or original screenplay, history can be unforgiving to those performers. Penélope Cruz’s win for “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” (2008) is the most recent example of a sole nominee winning in the supporting actress category, and that required a rare category switcharoo by Kate Winslet from supporting to lead for “The Reader,” who swept all the precursors. Before that, one has to look back to Marisa Tomei in “My Cousin Vinny” (1992), who was a surprise nominee on the day (and even more shocking winner on Oscar night). These are the exceptions, not the norms.

By all these somewhat vague measurements, there is still room for another contender (or two) to emerge. And with Oscar voting opening Monday morning, the next week may matter more than any ceremony that comes before.

Chelsea Handler Pays Tribute To Rob Reiner, Goes After David Zaslav & Shouts Out ‘Heated Rivalry’ In Critics Choice Opening Monologue

[ad_1]

After multiple successful hosting stints at the Critics Choice Awards, comedian Chelsea Handler took the stage at Barker Hangar for the fourth time — paying tribute to the late Rob Reiner, not holding back on shots at Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and Leonardo DiCaprio and even shouting out breakout Crave Canada hit Heated Rivalry.

“Sinners is the story of brothers who start this really fun place for entertainment and then vampires show up, suck the life out of everybody and burn it all to the ground. Fun fact: The original name of the main vampire was David Zaslav,” she quipped, as the camera panned to star Michael B. Jordan, who could be seen ruefully shaking his head at the joke.

Touting the period drama’s near-$368 million worldwide box office gross, Handler called out a piece from our sister publication, which readers and celebrities alike slammed for minimizing the critically acclaimed film’s financial performance. “White Hollywood was so shook after seeing the box office numbers, Variety ran the headline: ‘Do box office numbers really matter?’”

In another biz-related joke, Handler went after the C-suite in general: “Seth Rogen is here tonight. Years of playing stoners, slackers and underachievers who do next to nothing all day prepared Seth for his latest role of someone who does even less — a studio head.”

The comic also went after One Battle After Another star DiCaprio, who just last night missed an appearance at the Palm Springs Film Festival (where he was set to accept a Desert Palm Achievement Award), due to travel restrictions. The Oscar winner was vacationing on a yacht off the coast of St. Barts at the time. “It was just like the Titanic but worse because Jeff Bezos was there,” Handler said.

Showering praise on the year’s original series, Handler gave a warm shoutout to one of most dominant shows in the zeitgeist: “You guys made amazing, original shows that everyone couldn’t stop talking about — until that gay hockey show from Canada came along,” she said. “Shoutout to Heated Rivalry; everyone loves it: Gay men love it, women love it, straight men who say they aren’t gay but work out at Equinox love it!”

In more TV-related material, Handler said: “The cast of Landman is here. Spoiler alert: In a recent episode, Billy Bob Thornton went full frontal. Taylor Sheridan said it was nice to have a dick on set that wasn’t Kevin Costner.”

Closing out her opener, after Handler highlighted Jay Kelly‘s Adam Sandler as “the nicest guy in Hollywood,” she launched into a sweet remembrance of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, who were found dead mid-December after being allegedly stabbed by their son Nick Reiner.

“Actually, you’re the second nicest guy in Hollywood, because everyone in this room knows that the nicest guy in Hollywood was Rob Reiner,” she began. “Anyone who ever spent time with Rob Reiner knows that the minute you met him, he felt like an old friend. When you were in a conversation with him, he was present, he was focused and he was funny, and he would ask you tons of questions, whether you were discussing politics or film or the latest beauty trends — he was all in. After I sent him a text thanking him for dinner a few months ago, he texted me back and said, ‘We had so much fun with you last night. Thanks for explaining so much about plastic surgery. It was very edifying.’”

She concluded, “Rob and Michele were tireless in their efforts to so many important causes, all stemming from one basic idea: decency and that we should all look out for each other. I think we can all agree that we definitely need more of that. So, let’s use tonight as a reminder of that decency and as a reminder of everything Rob and Michele represented and fought so hard for.”

All the Stars on the 2026 Critics Choice Awards Red Carpet

[ad_1]

The 2026 awards season roars on tonight with the Critics Choice Awards, which honors many of the biggest names in film and television.

Chelsea Handler is hosting the ceremony from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. Sinners leads this year’s nominees, which were selected by the Critics Choice Association, the largest critics group in the U.S. and Canada, with 17 nominations. (Only Barbie has had more nominations, with 18 back in 2024.) Stars from the film Michael B. Jordan, Wunmi Mosaku, and Miles Caton are up for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Young Actor / Actress. One Battle After Another earned 14 nominations, with its stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Chase Infiniti, Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn, Teyana Taylor, and director Paul Thomas Anderson all receiving nods.

In the television categories, Netflix has a strong presence: Adolescence received the most nominations at six, and Nobody Wants This is up for five awards.

We’re still early in the awards season race, so tonight’s winners may offer a good foreshadowing of what is to come in the next few months. And of course, the winners aren’t just about what happens on the stage—the red carpet is its own fierce competition.

See all of the looks from the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards here.

A mere four days into the new year, and the first awards show of 2026 is upon us. Tonight, the Critics’ Choice Awards celebrate the best in film and television, recognizing the finest actors, directors, writers, costume designers, editors and more in the industry.

Along with the usual categories, the 31st Critics’ Choice Awards will include four new honors, for Best Variety Series, Best Sound, Best Stunt Design and Best Casting and Ensemble. Chelsea Handler is hosting the awards show for the fourth year in a row, and the ceremony will once again take place at the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport in Santa Monica, California.

It’s always an A-list guest list; this evening’s presenters include Ali Larter, Alicia Silverstone, Allison Janney, Arden Cho, Ava DuVernay, Bradley Whitford, Billy Bob Thornton, Colman Domingo, Diego Luna, Ejae, Hannah Einbinder, Jeff Goldblum, Jessica Williams, Justin Hartley, Justin Sylvester, Kaley Cuoco, Keltie Knight, Marcello Hernández, Mckenna Grace, Michelle Randolph, Noah Schnapp, Owen Cooper, Quinta Brunson, Regina Hall, Rhea Seehorn, Sebastian Maniscalco and William H. Macy.

Sinners leads the film pack with a staggering 17 nods, followed by One Battle After Another‘s still-impressive 14, while Netflix’s limited series, Adolescence, scored the most for television with six, followed by another Netflix show, Nobody Wants This, with five.

Before the awards are handed out, however, the stars will walk the red carpet in the first major fashion moment of 2026. Last year’s show brought us standout looks like Margaret Qualley in ethereal Chanel, Colman Domingo in a brown leather Hugo Boss ensemble, Cynthia Erivo in black peplum Armani Privé and Mikey Madison in vintage Giorgio Armani, so we’re just going to have to wait with bated breath to see what this season’s nominees bring to the table. Below, see the best red carpet fashion moments from the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards.

Inside Emily Blunt’s Bombshell Transformation for the Critics Choice Awards 2024

[ad_1]

When the Barbenheimer phenomenon vaulted two summer movies to blockbuster glory, it was clear how the films diverged when it came to the trajectories of their female characters. Stereotypical Barbie, played by Margot Robbie in Greta Gerwig’s candy-bright confection, winds up trading the plasticine perfection of her Malibu Dreamhouse for the mixed-bag freedoms of the real world. In the case of Kitty Oppenheimer—wife to the so-called American Prometheus, brought to simmering life by Emily Blunt in Christopher Nolan’s biopic—she is still, in the metaphorical sense, confined to the box. A biologist who winds up relegated to the roles of wife and mother, she remains unfulfilled, “bristling against the constraints of womanhood at that time,” Blunt says in a video about her Oppenheimer performance, which has garnered a raft of best-supporting-actress nominations. Kitty is a “really brilliant brain that kind of went to waste at the ironing board, and she suffered for it.”

Blunt slips into her Giorgio Armani Privé dress with help from stylist Jessica Paster.

By Jenna Jones.

If Kitty has the force of an undetonated weapon, what Blunt unleashed at Sunday’s Critics Choice Awards 2024 was pure bombshell—red paillettes glowing like fire under the lights. “We were going for a modern twist on Old Hollywood,” stylist Jessica Paster says by phone, shortly after Blunt decamped for the carpet. (She joined her Oppenheimer cast members onstage to accept the award for best acting ensemble.) “The minute I saw that dress, I knew that I wanted it for Emily. I said, ‘Please put it on hold—I just don’t know for what!’” Such was the coup de foudre sparked last July when the one-shoulder Giorgio Armani Privé look appeared on the runway. “The movie is set in the ’40s and ’50s, and that’s what I love about this silhouette,” Paster says. “More important,” she adds, “it has the femininity, but it’s a very strong dress.”

Makeup artist Jenn Streicher swatched countless lipsticks, seeking this precise shade of red—Chanel’s 31 Le Rouge in Rouge Privé.

By Jenna Jones.

Much of that magnetism—glamour at its most grounded—is due to Blunt’s personality, funny and cerebral and warm. Another quotient is her bedrock team. “We’re all in tune with each other,” says Paster, speaking about the others in the creative triumvirate: Jenn Streicher on makeup, Laini Reeves on hair. Streicher comes to the phone, tracing their origin story to the 2007 awards season following The Devil Wears Prada. “I had actually been working with her husband, John [Krasinski], and they had just started dating,” the makeup artist recalls. “I was like, ‘Yeah, if you ever need anybody, just let me know.’” The next week, Blunt called up about the SAG Awards. “John always says that she stole me from him,” Streicher says with a laugh.

The red shoes are by Alexandre Birman; hairstylist Laini Reeves, working with the hair-health line Burgeon, secures the rosette-like buns.

Critics Choice Awards: Behind the Decision to Bring Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie Onstage in Unplanned Moment for ‘Barbie’ Win

[ad_1]

Host Chelsea Handler was among those responsible for bringing Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie to the stage at Sunday night’s Critics Choice Awards to accept the best comedy movie award for Barbie in an unplanned moment.

The award was announced early in the night as a roundup of several categories before a commercial break, with the camera cutting briefly to the Barbie table, where Margot Robbie, Greta Gerwig, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera (who was honored with the SeeHer Award) and others cheered the news. While the film won a total of six awards, only one of those categories (best song for “I’m Just Ken”) was presented onstage with the winners able to give an acceptance speech.

Later in the show, Handler surprised attendees and viewers — and the Barbie folks — by rectifying that.

“Earlier tonight, Barbie was awarded best comedy, but it wasn’t onstage, so I’m gonna go rogue because I feel like Greta and Margot deserve the opportunity to make an acceptance speech,” Handler said toward the end of the show, with about 30 minutes left in the three-hour ceremony. “So ladies, would you mind coming up here and accepting the award for best comedy?”

Gerwig and Robbie appeared surprised at the move and unaware that it was happening.

“Oh, this is so unexpected,” Robbie told the crowd from the stage. “You know, when everyone’s like, ‘Oh, this is so unexpected,’ this is actually unexpected. This was not a part of the show, but we’re very grateful nonetheless.”

Gerwig added, “Thank you so much for letting this happen. We were just very excited in our chairs, and it’s very nice to be up here.”

Before Handler brought Gerwig and Robbie onstage, James Mangold also made a reference to the fact that the best comedy award winners were not allowed to come onstage. While introducing the career achievement award winner, Harrison Ford, the Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny director noted as an aside: “Why don’t they get to come onstage for comedies?” before continuing his speech.

A source close to the show told The Hollywood Reporter that Handler, along with her writers and the show producers, made the call during a commercial break to bring the Barbie duo up onstage. Because the show was running ahead of schedule, they made the decision collectively to bring them up onstage rather than add another bit or joke.

Barbie also won best original screenplay for Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, best production design for Sarah Greenwood and Katie Spencer, best costume design for Jacqueline Durran and best hair and makeup.

The 29th annual Critics Choice Awards were handed out Sunday night at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. See a full list of winners.

America Ferrera Shouts Out Selena Gomez, Jenna Ortega in Critics Choice Speech – POPSUGAR Australia

[ad_1]

Actress America Ferrera was awarded the SeeHer Award at today’s 2024 Critics Choice Awards, and delivered an acceptance speech that could rival her iconic “Barbie” monologue.

The SeeHer Award is a non-competitive special award that was established in 2017. It honours women in film who advocate for gender equality in the industry, and portray authentic, boundary-pushing characters.

Margot Robbie presented the award to America Ferrera. In Robbie’s introduction, the actress and Barbie producer highlighted some of Ferrera’s career highlights, including “Real Women Have Curves”, “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”, and “Ugly Betty”. Robbie also noted that Ferrera became the first Latina woman to win an Emmy for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series when she won for “Ugly Betty”, and remains the only Latina woman who has won in this category.

“First, and only,” Robbie reiterated. “I imagine being the first in any field can be isolating. I imagine it puts an enormous amount of pressure on you to be perfect, to play it safe, but what I admire most about America is how she has handled that pressure, while never being afraid to speak the truth when it counts the most.”

America Ferrera Delivers Powerful Speech on the Importance of Representation

On stage, Ferrera delivered a powerful and heartfelt acceptance speech with effortless charm.

“I’m just waiting for the teleprompter to show my speech, there it is!” she began, bursting into a grin.

Accepting the award, Ferrera spoke about her experience being a “first-generation Honduran-American girl in love with TV, film, and theatre who desperately wanted to be a part of a storytelling legacy that I could not see myself reflected in”.

“Of course, I could feel myself in characters who were strong and complex, but these characters rarely, if ever, looked like me,” Ferrera said. “I yearned to see people like myself on screen as full humans.”

Ferrera went on to recall her start in the industry, noting that at the time, “it seemed impossible that anyone could make a career of portraying fully-dimensional Latina characters”. She credited the writers, directors, producers and executives behind the scenes who have been “daring enough to rewrite outdated stories” over the years, and “to challenge deeply entrenched biases”.

She also gave a shout out to Ariana Greenblatt — who plays Ferrera’s daughter in “Barbie” — as well as Jenna Ortega and Selena Gomez, for making their mark in Hollywood as Latina actresses, and playing characters she “could not have seen growing up”.

“To me, this is the best and highest use of storytelling,” she continued. “To affirm one another’s full humanity, to uphold the truth that we are all worthy of being seen. Black, Brown, indigenous, Asian, trans, disabled, any body type, any gender, we are all worthy of having our lives richly and authentically reflected.”

America Ferrera Thanks “Barbie” Family

Ferrera went on to say that she would not be receiving the award if it weren’t for her role in Barbie, and took time to thank Robbie for seeing the “value” in “an entirely female idea that most would have dismissed as too girly, too frivolous or just too problematic”.

To Robbie, who produced the film, she said: “You had the courage and the vision to take it on. Thank you for gifting the world with ‘Barbie’.”

Next up was “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig, who Ferrera thanked for her “incredible mastery as a filmmaker” and for proving “that women’s stories have no difficulty achieving cinematic greatness and box office history at the same time”. She also thanked “the Kens” — Noah Baumbach, Tom Ackerley, David Heyman, and Ryan Gosling.

Ferrera’s final thanks was to her husband Ryan, who she clarified was “not Gosling”.

“You see me and my dreams, and you believe and support them as if they were your own. I love you,” she said.

“This is for every kid yearning to break in — I see you, and you go this,” she finished.

The 29th Critics Choice Awards are streaming in full on Stan.

Harrison Ford Has Funny Reaction To Jason Segel At The Critics Choice Awards & Delivers Heartfelt Speech For Career Achievement

[ad_1]

Harrison Ford was honored at the Critics Choice Awards with the Career Achievement Award and delivered a heartfelt speech.

“I’m really happy to be here tonight [and] to see what our business is turning into,” Ford said, accepting his award after a standing ovation from the crowd. “And all of the talented people who are getting opportunities that probably would not have existed in the early part of my career. I’m really happy about that.”

The Star Wars alum said he felt “enormously lucky” for the honor and thanked his “lovely wife,” Calista Flockhart, who was visibly emotional with tears in her eyes.

Ford noted that his wife “supports me when I need a lot of support — and I need a lot of support.”

“I’m grateful to all the fine actors — I see many of them here tonight — that I’ve worked with and I’m deeply happy to have had the opportunities that I’ve had,” he continued. “Thank you, I won’t take any more of your time.”

Ford and Segel co-star in the Apple TV+ series co-created by Bill Lawrence, Segel and Brett Goldstein. In the series, Ford plays the role of Dr. Paul Rhoades, a therapist and colleague of Segel’s Jimmy Laird. A second season of the comedy-drama has already been ordered following the first season which premiered on January 2023 and consisted of ten episodes.

[ad_1]
All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, StyleCaster may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Awards season is in full swing, and for all the cinephiles and television enthusiasts out there, we’ve got your ticket to the Critics Choice Awards. Up ahead, we’re diving into how to watch the Critics Choice Awards live for free, so you don’t miss a second of this star-studded night celebrating the best of this year’s releases.

Established in 1996, the Critics Choice Awards recognizes outstanding achievements in both film and television. What sets these awards apart is the unique voting process. Unlike some other awards ceremonies, the Critics Choice Awards are determined by the Critics Choice Association, a group comprising over 300 film and television critics from various media outlets across the country.

Originally called the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA), these critics collectively decide the winners of the film categories at the Critics Choice Awards. On the television front, the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA) was founded in 2011 to represent television journalists who cover the television industry on a daily basis and play a crucial role in selecting the winners in the television categories. This unique dual-voting system has earned the Critics Choice Awards a reputation for being a true reflection of the industry’s sentiments.

This year’s nominations promise an exciting competition, with Barbie leading the pack with a record-breaking 18 nominations—the most any film has ever received in the history of these awards. The film not only competes for Best Picture but also sees nominations for Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor. Trailing closely behind are Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, both securing 13 nominations each.

On the television front, the battle for supremacy is fierce among shows like The Morning Show, Succession, The Bear, and Beef. The Morning Show leads the pack with six nominations, followed by Succession with five.

As the nominations unfold, audiences get to witness the best in both film and television vying for the coveted Critics Choice Awards. But first, you’ll have to know how to watch the Critics Choice Awards live for free if you plan to tune in. Keep on reading ahead to find out everything you need to know about streaming the Critics Choice Awards in 2024.

Where are the Critics Choice Awards 2024 held?

The Critics Choice Awards 2024 will air live from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. This marks a return to the venue after two years of hosting the ceremony at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel, where ongoing labor disputes made it impossible for the ceremony to take place.

“We are happy to be able to return to The Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, where our show has also enjoyed great success through the years,” said Joey Berlin, CEO of the Critics Choice Association, in a statement per Variety. “For viewers at home, it will be the same exact show – and we’ll now be able to seat even more of our members who fly in from all over to enjoy the evening with the hundreds of stars in the room that night.”

Who is the host of the 2024 Critics Choice Awards?

The Critics Choice Awards 2024 host is Chelsea Handler. This marks the second year in a row that the comedian will host the awards ceremony. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Handler reflected on what it means to host the show during what she described as the “year of women.”

“I feel a strong desire to show up and provide a reprieve to all the madness and to keep the vibes high and remind people about laughter, togetherness and the fact that there’s still good in the world,” Handler said. “It’s nice to be onstage for 90 minutes and forget everything. I love my job right now. I feel very purposeful.”

She continued, “It’s very enjoyable to be able to share a room with all the people who’ve worked so hard to be there, especially in a year where Barbie, the No. 1 box office movie of the year, is by a woman. That makes me so happy. And there are so many females to be celebrating this year. I don’t feel like, “Oh, I better do a good job.” I will do a good job.”

Who are the presenters at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards?

In addition to host Chelsea Handler, the show will feature a list of presenters that includes Vanessa Morgan, Awkwafina, Brendan Fraser, Gael García Bernal, Oprah Winfrey, Sandra Oh, Ashley Madekwe, David Duchovny, Jason Segel, Jessica Williams, Jon Cryer, Abigail Spencer, Angela Bassett, Anthony Ramos, Bella Ramsey, Carla Gugino, Daniel Levy, David Oyelowo, Donald Faison, Giacomo Gianniotti, Jenny Slate, John Krasinski, Kaley Cuoco, Ke Huy Quan, Mandy Moore, Meg Ryan, Natasha Lyonne, Nicholas Braun, Phil Dunster, and Ramy Youssef, among others.

Critics Choice Awards Winners 2024: See the Full List Here

[ad_1]

With nearly 600 members, the Critics Choice Association (CCA) is the largest group of entertainment journalists in the U.S. and Canada. But before you roll your eyes at a televised awards ceremony based in the judgement of a bunch of schlubby scribes, know this: The Critics Choice Awards is historically the most accurate predictor of Academy Award nominations, which makes its assessments of cinematic and television achievement of particular note to those who follow splashier races like the Oscars and tomorrow night’s Emmy Awards.

Nominations were announced in December, and voting ended Friday for this year’s awards, which will be announced on January 14, 2024. The awards ceremony will air live for viewers in the Eastern time zone from 7-10 p.m. on the CW, but will be tape delayed most other places. One exception is Los Angeles, where local CW affiliate KTLA-5 will broadcast live from Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar; the station will also air red carpet arrivals starting at 2 p.m. PT.

In addition to host Chelsea Handler, who returns for her second year in the role, folks on that carpet include Harrison Ford, who’ll be presented with this year’s Career Achievement Award by director James Mangold. Margot Robbie will also be on stage to present America Ferrera with the gender equity-focused SeeHer Award; other presenters include Angela Bassett, Daniel Levy, Natasha Lyonne, and Oprah Winfrey.

Even before the awards began, the CCA named some of the nights winners from the red carpet. The Holdovers‘ Dominic Sessa was named the year’s Best Young Actor/Actress, Quiz Lady was named 2024’s Best Movie Made for Television, and Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse took home the Best Animated Feature award.

Below, find a complete list of Critics Choice Awards 2024 nominations with their winners in bold; it will be updated throughout the evening. We also have coverage of the red carpet’s best fashion and looks.

Critics Choice Awards 2024: All the Fashion, Outfits, and Looks

[ad_1]

At the Critics Choice Awards 2024, actors, editors, directors, writers, and more of the biggest names in film and television will be honored by the Critics Choice Association, the largest critics group in the country. While a celebration of stars from screens big and small might remind you of the Golden Globes (which aired live last Sunday from the Beverly Hilton), the Critics Choice Awards are unique in that they have their own special categories, such as best young actor/actress, which is meant to spotlight burgeoning talent in Hollywood. This year, Abby Ryder Fortson (Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.), Ariana Greenblatt (Barbie), Calah Lane (Wonka), Milo Machado Graner (Anatomy of a Fall), Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers), and Madeleine Yuna Voyles (The Creator) are all in the running to win the distinctive award. Before the ceremony begins at the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport on Sunday, the Critics Choice Awards 2024 red carpet is the first stop for nominees—and their enviable guests—to showcase their style in front of press, photographers, and fans.

At the Critics Choice Awards 2024, hosted by Chelsea Handler and broadcast on the CW, Barbie leads the pack of nominees with a whopping 18 nominations, followed by Oppenheimer and Poor Things, which have 13 nods each. Competition is tough in the best-picture category, with American Fiction, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, the Oprah Winfrey–produced Color Purple, The Holdovers, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, the Greta Lee–led Past Lives, Yorgos Lanthimos’s Poor Things, and Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn all competing to take home the coveted prize. And it’ll be just as interesting to see who wins in the television category, with The Morning Show and Succession facing off for best drama series.

See all the fashion, outfits, and looks from the 2024 Critics Choice Awards below.

Harrison Ford to Receive Career Achievement Honor at Critics Choice Awards

[ad_1]

Harrison Ford is nominated for best supporting actor in a comedy for his turn on the Apple TV+ series Shrinking at Sunday’s Critics Choice Awards. But even if he doesn’t win, the 81-year-old actor won’t go home empty-handed.

The organization announced Tuesday that Ford will be feted with the Career Achievement Award at the 29th annual event, which will be hosted by Chelsea Handler and broadcast on The CW. The news comes during a busy spell for Ford who also stars opposite Helen Mirren in the Yellowstone spinoff series 1923. He will next be seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross in Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World opposite Anthony Mackie and Liv Tyler. Last year, he reprised his role as Indiana Jones in James Mangold’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

That film had a glitzy premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, and in conjunction with the premiere, a teary Ford accepted a surprise honorary Palme d’Or for lifetime achievement. He’s been similarly honored with career prizes from with the British Academy of Film and Television Arts’ Albert R. Broccoli Britannia Award, the American Film Institute’s Lifetime Achievement Award, an Honorary César Award and the National Association of Theater Owners’ Box Office Star of the Century award in 1994.

His acting career dates back to the late 1960s. Major credits over the decades include a breakthrough role in 1973 in George Lucas’s American Graffiti followed by, of course, playing Han Solo in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation and Apocalypse Now, Mike Nichols’ Working Girl, Philip Noyce’s Tom Clancy adaptations Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, Andrew Davis’ The Fugitive, Wolfgang Petersen’s Air Force One, Robert Zemeckis’ What Lies Beneath, Kathryn Bigelow’s K-19: The Widowmaker, Brian Helgeland’s 42 and Gavin Hood’s Ender’s Game.

The Critics Choice Awards show will be executive produced by Bob Bain Prods. and Berlin Entertainment. As announced, the ceremony will also see America Ferrera honored with an eighth annual SeeHer Award. Sponsors of the awards include Verizon, Delta Air Lines, Fiji Water, Cold Stone Creamery, Milagro Tequila, Champagne Collet, d’Arenberg and Maison L’Envoyé wines.

PLEASE NOTE: This forecast, assembled by Scott Feinberg, The Hollywood Reporter’s executive editor of awards coverage, reflects Scott’s best attempt to predict the behavior of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, not his personal preferences. He arrives at these projections by drawing upon conversations with voters and other industry insiders, analysis of marketing and awards campaigns, results of awards ceremonies that precede the Oscars and the history of the Oscars itself. There will be regular updates to reflect new developments.

Jamie Foxx Makes First Public Speech Since Mystery Hospitalization: “I Couldn’t Actually Walk”

[ad_1]

Nearly eight months after an undisclosed “medical complication” left him hospitalized for weeks, Jamie Foxx emerged on Monday night for his surprise first public appearance.

He was on hand to receive the Vanguard Award for his performance in The Burial at the Critics Choice Association’s Celebration of Cinema and Television: Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements. After an introduction from co-star Jurnee Smollet, Foxx took the stage, where he said, “I couldn’t do that six months ago, I couldn’t actually walk to [the stage]. And I’m not a clone, I’m not a clone. I know a lot of people saying that I was cloned out there”—a joking reference to his Netflix film, They Cloned Tyrone, which was released in June and earned him a Gotham Award nomination last month. “It feels good to be here. I cherish every single minute now, it’s different.”

This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.

The 55-year-old Oscar winner added, “I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy because it’s tough when it’s almost over, when you see the tunnel. I saw the tunnel, I didn’t see the light. It was hot in that tunnel too, I don’t know where I was going. ‘Shit, am I going to the right place?’”

Amid his recovery for the medical event, which occurred while Foxx was in Atlanta shooting the movie Back in Action, a Netflix comedy costarring Cameron Diaz (in her first feature film role in almost 10 years), he said, “I have a new respect for life, I have a new respect for my art. I watched so many movies and listened to so many songs trying to have the time go by. Don’t give up on your art, man, don’t give up on your art. When you realize that it could be over like that… I got to tell you don’t give up on your art and don’t let them take the art from you either.”

It was Foxx’s daughter Corinne Foxx who initially shared news of her father’s emergency. “We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery,” read an April 12 Instagram post that has since been removed. “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”

Foxx was first sighted in public again in July, spotted boating on the Chicago River. Later that month, he thanked his family, friends, and fans for their support, saying on Instagram: “I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery has some potholes as well, but I’m coming back.” He also hinted at a return to work. “Every once in a while, I just burst into tears … because it’s been tough, man, I was sick,” Foxx explained, “But now I’ve got my legs under me, so you’re going to see me.”

Jenny Slate on Her Critics Choice 2023 Look and ‘Marcel the Shell’ Poignant Makeup Moment

[ad_1]

It’s Friday afternoon in Los Angeles, during the brief lull between the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards, and Jenny Slate is detailing her red carpet preparations. “Right now, I’m eating an everything bagel in my car. Super glamorous!” the actor says by phone, as an electronic trill announces that she’s shifted into park.

A facial with Natura Bissé notwithstanding (“A gigantic luxury—I’m very happy about that”), this is not the moment for the laid-back pampering one might expect for a woman tied to two celebrated movies. Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, a Critics Choice nominee for best animated film, is the product of her decade-long collaboration with co-creator Dean Fleischer Camp, with Slate voicing the winsome one-inch-tall protagonist. She also turns up in awards-season darling Everything Everywhere All at Once, playing an athleisure-clad regular at the laundromat. Maybe, in an alternate reality, Slate is sipping kombucha after yoga and a lymphatic massage. “But right now, I am the mother of a two-year-old who has jet lag,” she says, recalling daughter Ida’s 4 a.m. request for yogurt following the Globes. “It feels like I’m just folding the awards into my life,” she says. A master of her multiverse: “It definitely does all fit.”

Skin prep comes first for makeup artist Kirin Bhatty, who used Violette’s Boum-Boum Milk with a gua sha tool before applying metallic rust tones on the eyes (Yeux Paint in Rose d’Aurore and Marron Glacé). Bisou Balm in Bêtise simulated a “just bitten” lip, Bhatty says.

Hairstylist Nikki Providence relied on IGK’s Good Behavior balm and smoothing spray to finesse the side-swept waves. “Since it was a torrential downpour off and on all weekend, they were life savers,” says Providence.

Slate has a soft spot for the Critics Choice Awards. In 2015, she took home the event’s prize for best actress in a comedy, for her role in the oops-pregnancy movie Obvious Child; five years later, her debut comedy special, Stage Fright, earned a nomination as well. “It’s the actual critics who have watched everything, who write in depth about all of these projects, and it is immensely important to be honored by them,” says Slate, who earmarked a dress by Olivier Theyskens for this weekend’s ceremony. It’s one of the designer’s couture-level exercises in sustainability, composed entirely of fabric swatches—in this case, gold and metallic olive and snippets of magenta—that he has accumulated over the years. “I love a turtleneck, always have, and while it’s very tight on the body, it also still somehow shows restraint,” she says. “To me, it feels like maybe my most powerful look yet.”

A moment with stylist Monty Jackson.

The team getting Slate ready on Sunday evening serve as longtime confidants: makeup artist Kirin Bhatty and hairstylist Nikki Providence above the neck, stylist Monty Jackson below. “He’s seen me very naked one million times,” Slate says with a laugh. “He really works not just with my figure and what I think is stylish, but also with my emotions.” It’s a cherished quality, given that the stakes of the occasion are higher than another fancy night out. “When you’re [dressing for] your own birthday party, you don’t really think about whether the entire internet is going to tell you that you looked either very good or very bad or somewhere in between.”

Backyard sunlight picks up the metallic glimmers in the dress and makeup.
