I Critics Choice Awards 2021 sono andati in scena, questa notte, con Taye Diggs a presentare un’inedita cerimonia parzialmente in presenza e, soprattutto, in virtuale. Ci sono state diverse conferme, come i moltissimi riconoscimenti per Nomadland di Chloé Zhao e il grande successo di Netflix con The Crown, ma è forse il lato comedy a regalare le novità più interessanti.  

Tra gli attori, vince un nuovo meritato premio postumo Chadwick Boseman per Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, mentre la miglior attrice è Carey Mulligan con la sua performance in Promising Young Woman. Migliori attori non protagonisti Daniel Kaluuya in Judas and the Black Messiah e Maria Bakalova per Borat – Seguito di film cinema.
Ben quattro premi, invece, per The Crown: oltre al riconoscimento come Miglior serie drammatica, sono state premiati la strepitosa Gillian Anderson, Emma Corrin e Josh O'Connor che hanno vinto come miglior attori protagonisti in una serie drammatica.

Tre sono i premi vinti da Ted Lasso eletta miglior serie comica, con Jason Sudeikis e Hannah Waddingham miglior attore e miglior attrice non protagonista. A Palm Springs, infine, il titolo di miglior commedia dell'anno. 

Di seguito la lista completa dei vincitori!
