Alfonso Cuaron's 'Roma' is the top winner at the Critics’ Choice Awards

A week prior to this ceremony, Glenn Close won the Golden Globe Award for ‘Best Actress in a Film Drama’, an award that many had expected Lady Gaga to win. The American singer-songwriter turned actress was left in tears as she accepted the prestigious award for her portrayal of a struggling artist Ally in ‘A Star is Born.’

Lady Gaga’s speech read, “I’m so honoured by this. I went to places in my mind and in my heart that I did not know existed. This is a tremendous honour. I feel recognized not just for my performance, but for the inner work it took in the creation of this character.”

The spotlight continued to shine on Lady Gaga, as she went on to win the ‘Best Song’ award for her duet ‘Shallow’ with Bradley Cooper in ‘A Star Is Born’. In addition to Close and Gaga, two other actors, Amy Adams (Sharp Objects) and Patricia Arquette (Escape at Dannemora) tied for ‘Best Actress in a TV Movie or Limited Series.’

Amongst other categories, ‘Roma’ was at the top, with the most wins at the Critics’ Choice Awards, winning awards for ‘Best Picture, ‘Foreign Language Film’ as well as Alfonso Cuaron winning an individual award for ‘Best Director.’

‘The Americans’ and ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ tied for top television winners with 3 awards each, spread out over various categories. ‘Black Panther’ and ‘Vice’ also won 3 awards, including Christian Bale receiving ‘Best Actor’ for his portrayal of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
