Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Joaquin Phoenix, Renée Zellweger, Brad Pitt and Laura Dern Take home the Critic Choice Awards

The 25th annual Critics’ Choice Awards was held on Sunday, January 12 and hosted by Taye Diggs. This award is given by The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA). 

Eddie Murphy received a lifetime achievement award and Kristen Bell, was honored with the #SeeHer Award, who moved the audience with an inspiring speech.

“My immediate reaction is always to answer with words like ‘strong’ and ‘brave’ and ‘powerful,’ but if I’m being honest, to me, being a woman is not about being brave or being strong or being powerful. It’s not about being anything specific,” Bell said. “It’s just about giving yourself permission to be the things that you already are, which seems very easy, but it is not. Because women have been conditioned to fit into boxes; usually tiny, pretty, sparkly boxes with bows on the them.”
