The Critics Choice Awards happened at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles hosted by Taye Diggs and Nicole Byer. Here's the winner's list of Critics Choice Awards 2022.

Following the BAFTAs awards in 2022, the 27th annual Critics Choice Awards were hosted on Sunday, March 13, at The Century Plaza Hotel. The awards ceremony, hosted by Taye Diggs and Nicole Byer, saw Hollywood celebs, including candidate Andrew Garfield, arrive on the red carpet looking their best.

It's award season, and Hollywood's A-listers have upped their fashion quotient with each presentation. Following the star-studded SAG Awards and BAFTAs, the who's who of Hollywood arrives on the 27th Annual Critics Choice Awards 2022 red carpet. Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga and more were among the evening's best dressed.

The Critics Choice Awards are known for recognising the finest in film and Television. With numerous important projects from the previous year contending for the coveted honours, it was a thrill to watch some of the best works in the entertainment business being recognised. Will Smith received the Best Actor award for his portrayal in King Richard's film, which was one of the evening's top acting honours. Jessica Chastain was named Best Actress in a Motion Picture for her portrayal in The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
