The Critics Choice Association announced their winners during the 28th Annual Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night. Hosted by Chelsea Handler, the star-studded gala was held at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles.

Everything Everywhere All at Once led the winners in the film categories, earning five awards including Best Picture, Best Director for Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert, Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan, Best Original Screenplay for Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert, and Best Editing for Paul Rogers.

In the series categories, Better Call Saul took home three trophies, winning Best Drama Series, Best Actor in a Drama Series for Bob Odenkirk, and Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Giancarlo Esposito. Abbott Elementary won two awards, Best Comedy Series and Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Sheryl Lee Ralph. The Dropout also scored a pair of wins, Best Limited Series, and Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television for Amanda Seyfried. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story won two awards as well, Best Movie Made for Television, and Best Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television for Daniel Radcliffe.

The Big Lebowski‘s John Goodman presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to castmate Jeff Bridges in a very special highlight of the evening, while Kate Hudson presented this year’s SeeHer Award to Glass Onion castmate Janelle Monáe. The SeeHer Award honors a woman who advocates for gender equality, portrays characters with authenticity, defies stereotypes and pushes boundaries.

The Critics Choice Awards are bestowed annually to honor the finest in cinematic and television achievement. Historically, they are the most accurate predictor of Academy Award nominations. We’ll see what happens during the upcoming Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Outside of the awards speeches, the best awards presentations of the night belonged to Seth Rogen and Ben Stiller.
