Critics Choice Awards 2025: Full Winners List

After multiple delays due to the recent tragic Los Angeles wildfires, the awards season continues with the Critics Choice Association (CCA) revealing the winners for the 2025 Critics Choice Awards. The CCA is the largest critics organization in the United States and Canada, featuring over 600 critics and entertainment journalists who work across the internet, television, and radio. The nominations for the 30th Critics Choice Awards were packed with some new records, making way for some possible surprises as the winners are announced live on Friday, February 7, from Santa Monica, California.

Could fan-favorite movies like Wicked and Nosferatu get some big wins at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards? Or, could heavy hitters like The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez continue their continued awards success this season despite recent controversies? It is unlikely that The Brutalist‘s technical use of AI would hinder its awards chances, but main Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón has recently dug herself into a hole after a slew of recent deeply offensive social media posts were uncovered. Meanwhile, on the side of TV, FX’s Shōgun, Netflix’s Baby Reindeer, and Max’s Hacks are expected to lead with the most wins.

Check out the full winners list for the 2024 Critics Choice Awards below. You can also find the winners of the 2025 Golden Globes right here on our site.
