The 30th annual Critics Choice Awards are underway Friday at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, launching a ceremony that had twice been postponed due to the L.A. wildfires that wreaked havoc on the city the past month. Chelsea Handler returns to host.

Already, Zoe Saldaña won for Best Supporting Actress for Netflix’s Emilia Pérez, cementing her place as a frontrunner for the Oscars next month, and giving a push to the musical movie that has been dealing with the fallout from its star Karla Sofía Gascón‘s old tweets. Gascón, nominated for Best Actress tonight, is one of 10 noms for the movie here, but she is not attending.

Conclave, the Focus Features drama that came in tied with Universal’s Wicked with the most nominations overall with 11, has already won for Best Ensemble, while Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s The Wild Robot won for Best Animated Film.

On the TV side, FX/Hulu’s Emmy juggernaut Shōgun, which led the way with six nominations coming in, won Best Drama Series and Best Actor in a Drama Series for Hiroyuki Sanada, repeating his Globes and Emmys wins. The Japanese period drama also swept both Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress categories.

The only category it didn’t take was Best Actress in a Drama, where Kathy Bates of CBS’ Matlock won over Emmy winner Anna Sawai.

HBO | Max’s Hacks scored three wins tonight, both for lead Jean Smart and Supporting Hannah Einbinder ahead of its win for Best Comedy Series.

Colin Farrell, who transferred his Oswald Cobblepot from the big to the small screen for HBO | Max’s The Penguin, won for Best Actor in a Limited Series to add to his Golden Globes win for the role, while his co-star Cristin Milioti won Best Actress. The Best Limited Series prize however went to Netflix’s Baby Reindeer, which also won for Jessica Gunning’s Supporting performance.

Check out the winners list below and keep checking back as we update it throughout the evening.

After Conclave and Wicked, Dune: Part Two joins Emilia Pérez with 10 noms overall at a ceremony that traditionally has served as a good Oscar bellwether. Last year, eventual Best Picture Oscar winner Oppenheimer scored a leading eight wins including the marquee Best Picture prize.

Conclave, Wicked, Dune: Part Two and Emilia Pérez are nominated in Critics Choice Best Pic category this year alongside A Complete Unknown, Anora, The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, Sing Sing and The Substance. All but Sing Sing are up for the same award at the Oscars.

This year’s Critics Choice Awards are airing live on the East Coast and tape delayed in the West until 7 p.m. PT on E! in the debut of a new deal with the network and Peacock. The show will drop on the streamer on Saturday.
