The Critics Choice Awards kick off with a bang, celebrating the finest talent in the industry! But it's the Aussies who steal the spotlight, with two wins for their own.
Sarah Snook's win for Best Actress in a Limited Series
Sarah Snook, the Australian star, claimed the prestigious award for her captivating performance in 'All Her Fault'. In a heartwarming moment, Snook revealed she hadn't prepared a speech, as her husband noticed her distant demeanor during the car ride to the event. With time ticking, she swiftly expressed gratitude to the network and her talented colleagues. The series, available on Binge in Australia, was a strong contender against 'Adolescence', which ultimately took home the award for Best Limited Series.
Jacob Elordi's Surprise Win for Frankenstein
The Australian success story continued with Jacob Elordi, who won Best Supporting Actor for his role in 'Frankenstein', a Netflix production. Elordi's acceptance speech was a highlight, as he thanked director Guillermo del Toro for inspiring him since he was 11 years old. He also acknowledged his parents, adding a sweet touch to the evening.
The ceremony also saw victories for Timothée Chalamet, Erin Doherty, Owen Cooper, and Stephen Graham, who humorously noted he was the only person he didn't recognize in the room. Jessie Buckley won Best Actress, beating fellow Australian Rose Byrne, and KPop Demon Hunters dominated with wins for Best Song and Best Animated Feature.
And here's a fun fact: The Netflix series 'Adolescence' has already racked up three consecutive awards, proving its immense popularity.
