2019 Critics' Choice Awards: 'Roma,' 'The Americans,' 'Mrs. Maisel' Earn Top Prizes, Lady Gaga And Glenn Close Tie For Best Actress
Rotten Tomatometers and Metacritic aggregation can only show a sliver of what critics think about films, but the Critics Choice Awards is the definitive proof. The Broadcast Film Critics Association and Broadcast Television Journalists Association bestowed their annual Critics' Choice Awards to the best in movies and TV over the past year, awarding a few festival and awards circuit favorites while mostly passing over The Favourite, despite the Yorgos Lanthimos film's 14 nods — the most of any film.
The top 2019 Critics Choice Awards winners instead included Alfonso Cuaron's Roma, which led the film categories with four wins, followed by Black Panther and Vice with three wins apiece. Meanwhile in TV, The Americans and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel earned the critics' love with three wins each.

Cuaron's black-and-white masterpiece Roma surprised no one when it took home the top prizes for Best Picture, Foreign-Language Film, Best Director, and Best Cinematography on Sunday night.
However, the ceremony had a few surprises up its sleeves. Despite earning the most nominations for any film at the Critics Choice Awards, The Favourite only waltzed away with one award for Best Ensemble. And two major acting categories saw a tie, with Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born) and Glenn Close (The Wife) tying for Best Actress on the film side, and Amy Adams (Sharp Objects) and Patricia Arquette (Escape at Dannemora) tying in the limited series or TV movie category. And while those four women had to share an award, Christian Bale picked up two acting wins for his portrayal of former Vice President Dick Cheney in Vice for both Best Actor and Best Actor in a Comedy.
So what does it all mean? Nothing for now, but the past few years have seen the Critics Choice Awards become an accurate predictor of Oscar winners. Since 2008, the Critics Choice Awards have correctly predicted the eventual Oscars winner for Best Picture seven times, Best Actor eight times, and Best Actress six times. Maybe this year we'll get a few historic ties at the Oscars too.
