Critics officially weighed in on what the best films and performances of 2022 were…

Chelsea Handler hosted the 28th Annual Critics Choice Awards as awards season gets well underway following the Golden Globes earlier this month.

Heading into the star-studded event all eyes were once again on A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once, who led the nominations with a whopping 14 nods. Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans was close behind with 11 and Abbott Elementary led the TV awards with six which has seen critical and viewer acclaim.

Everything Everywhere was the biggest winner of the night, and unsurprisingly took the night’s top honour, Best Picture. Ke Huy Quan picked up his well-deserved second award of the season for Supporting Actor and Directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert took home Best Director. The film also took home awards for Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing.

Brendan Fraser won his first award of the season, taking home the award for Best Actor for his critically acclaimed performance in The Whale. Fraser is tipped to pick up many nominations throughout the season, but did not attend the Golden Globes last week.

Fraser has been open about his reasoning for not attending, telling GQ: “I have more history with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association than I have respect for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. No, I will not participate. It’s because of the history that I have with them. And my mother didn’t raise a hypocrite. You can call me a lot of things, but not that.”

So, who else won awards on the big night? Here’s what the critics had to say about the films in 2022.

It's unusal for a film released in the first half of the year to be a favourite for the next year's Oscars, but Everything Everywhere All at Once - released in the UK back in May - is bucking that trend, with odds of 6/4 making it second favourite. The absurdist comedy-drama film uses the concept of a multiverse to dazzling - and sometimes confusing - effect, with stars Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis both tipped for acting awards.It's unusal for a film released in the first half of the year to be a favourite for the next year's Oscars, but Everything Everywhere All at Once - released in the UK back in May - is bucking that trend, with odds of 6/4 making it second favourite.
