After six amazing seasons, Better Call Saul ended on a high last year and its last season is finally getting some awards recognition. The list of Critics’ Choice Awards winners is here and AMC’s acclaimed legal drama led the way with a total of three awards.
Better Call Saul defeated the likes of House of the Dragon, Severance, and The Crown to win one of the night’s top awards: best drama series. Bob Odenkirk and Giancarlo Esposito also won acting awards for their respective performances on this show. Carol Burnett and Rhea Seehorn were in the running for the best supporting actress in a drama series, but eventually lost out to Jennifer Coolidge in The White Lotus.
Abbott Elementary dominated the comedy categories with two trophies: best comedy and best supporting actress in a comedy series (Sheryl Lee Ralph). Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) and Jean Smart (Hacks) won acting awards for their lead performances in the comedy field.
The Dropout was named the best-limited series, with Amanda Seyfried picking up another trophy for her performance on this show. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story was named the best movie made for television, and Daniel Radcliffe won the award for playing the titular character.
The 28th Critics’ Choice Awards took place at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, California on January 15, with Chelsea Handler serving as the host.
