Awards ceremonies over Zoom are pretty dull affairs, made even duller when the awards being handed out are the Critics Choice Awards, and when they all go to the expected recipients. Not that I mind particularly - these are probably the best choices the "Critics Choice Association" has ever made - but I slightly do mind having to sit through three hours of low-grade TV to find out what I already suspected. Remind yourself, if you care, of the 2020/21 Critics Choice Awards nominations right here, and all the winners below.
