The Critics Choice Awards, hosted by Chelsea Handler, finally took place after twice being delayed due to the LA fires.
The show was first slated to take place on Sunday, January 12 before being pushed to Sunday, January 26.

The Critics Choice Awards both shook up and solidified the awards season race ahead of the Academy Awards.
Anora was the upset winner of Best Picture, despite failing to win any of the other six awards it was nominated for, while
Demi Moore and Adrien Brody emerged triumphant in the lead acting categories at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, on Friday.
In his emotional acceptance speech, Baker noted that the film only cost $6 million — a shockingly small amount for a major film.
Demi, 62, brought down the house when her name was announced for Best Actress.
She stars in the satirical body-horror film The Substance, about an aging actress who resorts to an untested therapy to allow her to temporarily inhabit the body of a younger woman (Margaret Qualley).
But both are affected by stomach-churning physical side effects when they overstay their welcomes in the younger body.
Adrien praised critics for making his 'very small, epic film very visible and accessible to people' after winning Best Actor for The Brutalist, which cemented his status as the Oscar frontrunner in the category.
In the Brady Corbet–directed historical epic, he plays a Jewish architect and Holocaust survivor who butts heads with a wealthy benefactor (Guy Pearce) after emigrating to the US.
Zoe Saldaña was a surprise Best Supporting Actress winner for Emilia Pérez. The film was swept up in controversy after tweets containing racist and Islamophobic sentiments from its star Karla Sofía Gascón — some of them fairly recent — were discovered.
However, the Critics Choice Award ballots were turned in before the controversy came into the public eye, whereas voting for the Oscars isn't yet over.
The controversial Netflix film also won for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Song.
Notably, Gascón was among those credited for the Best Song win, but she did not attend after Netflix stopped paying for Gascón's travel and accommodations for the awards season due to her tweets and subsequent half-hearted apologies that didn't improve the film's outlook.
Keiran Culkin also won for Best Supporting Actor, while Jon M. Chu won for directing Wicked, setting him up as the Oscars frontrunner, despite positive reviews that sometimes dismissed his contributions.
The Oscar hopes of Ralph Fiennes and Conclave were kept alive, as the film won the acting ensemble award — with Fiennes accepting — and the Best Adapted Screenplay prize.
Among the TV winners, Shōgun emerged triumphant with wins for Best Drama Series, Best Actor (Hiroyuki Sanada) and both supporting categories (for Tadanobu Asano and Moeka Hoshi).
Hacks was the top comedy, win in the Best Comedy Series category and nabbing honors for Best Actress (Jean Smart) and Best Supporting Actress (Hannah Einbinder).
The Limited Series categories were split between Baby Reindeer, which won Best Limited Series and Best Supporting Actress for Jessica Gunning, and The Penguin, which won Best Actor and Actress for stars Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti.
Historically, the awards are the most accurate predictor of Academy Award nominations.
Another major change for the awards show was there was not a 'Live from E!: Critics Choice Awards' two-hour red carpet special ahead of the telecast.
The Critics Choice Awards are presented by the American-Canadian Critics Choice Association which is the largest critics organization in the United States and Canada, representing more than 600 media critics and entertainment journalists.
It was established in 2019 with the formal merger of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association, recognizing the intersection between film, television, and streaming content.
The 30th Annual Critics Choice Awards aired on E! from 7pm-10pm EST.
