The Critics Choice Awards 2025 celebrated another year of exceptional talent in film and television, honouring the best performances and productions of the year. Held at a glamorous ceremony at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, on February 7, 2025, the event, hosted by Chelsea Handler, recognised outstanding achievements in cinema and television from 2024. Among the winners, Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez dominated the film categories, ignoring the controversial buzz surrounding its lead trans actress, Karla Sofía Gascón, helped by the fact that the controversies arose after the voting concluded.
