Now that the 25th annual Critics Choice Awards have come to an end (or at least I’m hoping the show doesn’t run long, I present my final ballot from this weekend’s awards.

Given that I attended the Critics Choice Awards show this evening, I’ll have a full rundown later on including all the winners.  These aren’t so much predictions in as much as they are my choices or favorites.  Knives Out is my favorite film from 2019 but the film was not nominated for Best Picture.  As such, I went with my second-best film, Jojo Rabbit.
