California [US], February 8 (ANI): The 30th Critics Choice Awards took place in Los Angeles on early Saturday morning. This year’s event had some unexpected wins, leaving audiences both thrilled and surprised.

While Demi Moore winning Best Actress for The Substance and Zoe Saldana taking home Best Supporting Actress for Emilia Perez were widely predicted, Ariana Grande’s loss in the Best Supporting Actress category sparked disappointment among her fans.

The Best Picture award went to Anora, while Jon M Chu won Best Director for Wicked. Adrien Brody secured Best Actor for The Brutalist, and Kieran Culkin won Best Supporting Actor for A Real Pain.

The Best Animated Feature award went to The Wild Robot, and Emilia Perez was crowned Best Foreign Language Film. In a rare moment, Best Comedy had two winners–A Real Pain and Deadpool & Wolverine.
