HAUTE LIVING SHARES HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 2019 AWARDS SEASON BY LAURA SCHREFFLER
{CRITICS’ CHOICE AWARDS} The stars were out in full awards season effect on Sunday night to attend the 24th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards. Taye Diggs hosted the event, which aired live on the CW from Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar. In the film categories, Roma took home four awards—the most of the night—including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, for Alfonso Cuarón, and Best Foreign Language Film. Black Panther and Vice followed close behind, both winning in three categories. The top film acting awards resulted in a tie for Best Actress between Glenn Close for The Wife and Lady Gaga for A Star is Born, while Best Actor was bestowed upon Christian Bale for his transformative performance as Dick Cheney in Vice. Best Supporting Actor went to Mahershala Ali for Green Book and Regina King took home the Best Supporting Actress award for her work in If Beale Street Could Talk. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel took home three 24 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

Its leading lady, Rachel Brosnahan, was also a repeat winner for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, and Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series went to Alex Borstein. The Americans earned three trophies as well, including Best Drama Series, Best Actor in a Drama Series for Matthew Rhys and Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Noah Emmerich. Sandra Oh received Best Actress in a Drama Series for Killing Eve, with Best Actor in a Comedy Series going to Bill Hader for Barry. Best Supporting Actress nominee Claire Foy received the Critics’ Choice #SeeHer award, which was presented by former #SeeHer Award recipient Viola Davis. Chuck Lorre, creator of such acclaimed TV comedies as The Big Bang Theory, Mom, Young Sheldon and The Kominsky Method (all of which received Critics’ Choice Award nominations this year), was honored with the Critics’ Choice Creative Achievement Award. The cast of The Big Bang
Theory, including Mayim Bialik, Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Jim Parsons and Melissa Rauch, was on hand to recognize Lorre, just in time to celebrate the show’s final season. Other major winners on the film side included Elsie Fisher for Best Young Actor/ Actress in Eighth Grade, Mission: Impossible – Fallout for Best Action Movie, Crazy Rich Asians for Best Comedy, A Quiet Place for Best Sci-Fi/ Horror Film and “Shallow” from A Star Is Born for Best Song. Those who didn’t win looked every inch the winner, at least. The most fabulously clad leading ladies included Emily Blunt in a snow-white Prada column gown; Lady Gaga in an understated pale pink Calvin Klein by Appointment; Nicole Kidman in structured black-and-white Armani Privé; Laura Dern in a Saint Laurent that fit like a second skin; and Mandy Moore in Michael Kors.
