Over the weekend, the 2026 Critics Choice Awards took place, kickstarting awards season with a big win for One Battle After Another, plenty of recognition for Sinners, and a general celebration of the best films of the past year. However, the ceremony, broadcast by E!, featured a notable change that left a sour aftertaste for both viewers and creatives alike. To deal with the sheer quantity of awards to hand out, several key categories were announced on the red carpet with little fanfare, instead of giving the winners a chance to take the stage. This included awards like Best Foreign Language Film, Best Foreign Language Series, and Best Original Screenplay.
