Η αντίστροφη μέτρηση για τη φετινή awards season ξεκίνησε επίσημα με μια βραδιά γεμάτη κινηματογραφική λάμψη, τηλεοπτικές διακρίσεις και έντονες συζητήσεις γύρω από τις παραγωγές που σημάδεψαν τη χρονιά. Τα 31α Critics’ Choice Awards πραγματοποιήθηκαν την Κυριακή 4 Ιανουαρίου, μετατρέποντας το Barker Hangar στη Santa Monica της Καλιφόρνια σε επίκεντρο της διεθνούς βιομηχανίας του θεάματος.
Με οικοδέσποινα για ακόμη μία φορά τη Chelsea Handler, η τελετή μεταδόθηκε ζωντανά από τα E! και USA Network, συγκεντρώνοντας στο ίδιο βράδυ τους μεγαλύτερους πρωταγωνιστές του κινηματογράφου και της τηλεόρασης. Οι κριτικοί έδωσαν τις ψήφους τους, αποκαλύπτοντας ποιες ταινίες, σειρές και ερμηνείες ξεχώρισαν ως οι καλύτερες της χρονιάς.
Η φετινή διοργάνωση είχε έντονο παλμό και ξεκάθαρη διάθεση ανανέωσης, καθώς προστέθηκαν τέσσερις νέες κατηγορίες, αναδεικνύοντας το εύρος και τη δημιουργικότητα της σύγχρονης παραγωγής: Best Variety Series, Best Stunt Design, Best Casting and Ensemble, καθώς και Best Sound.
Στη φετινή τελετή, ταινίες και σειρές που είχαν ήδη τραβήξει το ενδιαφέρον των κριτικών επιβεβαίωσαν τη δυναμική τους, με παραγωγές όπως τα One Battle After Another, The Pitt, Adolescence και The Studio να συγκαταλέγονται στους μεγάλους νικητές της βραδιάς. Δεν έλειψαν, φυσικά, και οι ερμηνείες που συζητήθηκαν έντονα, επιβεβαιώνοντας τη σημασία των Critics’ Choice ως προπομπό για όσα θα ακολουθήσουν στα επόμενα μεγάλα βραβεία της σεζόν.
Με τις υποψηφιότητες να έχουν ανακοινωθεί ήδη από τις αρχές Δεκεμβρίου και με παραγωγές όπως το Sinners και το Adolescence να ηγούνται στον αριθμό των διακρίσεων, η βραδιά της 4ης Ιανουαρίου ήρθε να βάλει τη σφραγίδα της σε μια χρονιά γεμάτη δυνατές ιστορίες, τολμηρές ερμηνείες και δημιουργικές εκπλήξεις.
Ακολουθεί η αναλυτική λίστα των νικητών των Critics’ Choice Awards 2026, με όλες τις κατηγορίες και τα πρόσωπα που ξεχώρισαν σύμφωνα με τους κριτικούς.
