Awards season started off with a bang - but some fans weren't too happy about what went down at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards. "The Critics Choice Awards, they really have so many categories and we have so little time," red carpet reporter Keltie Knight told the crowd on Sunday, January 4. "Throughout the night we're going to be revealing other winners." During several moments within the show, five winners would be announced at once with no one taking the stage to accept the award.
