Daniel Kaluuya, Uzo Aduba, Chadwick Boseman and John Boyega have bagged wins in the highly acclaimed 2021 Critics Choice Awards. The award show took place this past Sunday evening in a virtual setting hosted by Taye Diggs in Los Angeles. The animated film Soul also scored a win as well as One Night Miami which is Regina King's debut-directed movie on the life of Malcom X.
The late Chadwick Boseman received the "Best Actor" award for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom which according to EWN, was accepted by his widow Taylor Simone Ledward. Ledward stated that "It is so hard to find a celebratory feeling in these moments" and amplified that Boseman's legacy had planted seeds for the next generation. Aduba secured a "Best Supporting Actress" win for her role of politician Shirley Chisholm in the wildly successful TV series, Mrs. America, making her the only Black actress that managed to make the winners' list.
The political movie Judas and the Black Messiah was nominated for the "Best Ensemble" and "Supporting Actor" which Kaluuya won. Kaluuya played Fred Hampton of the Black Panther Party. According to Vulture the "Ensemble" award went to the legal drama The Trial of the Chicago 7 while Boyega walked away with the best "Actor in a Movie/Miniseries" for Small Axe.
Jamie Foxx's animated movie Soul picked a win for "Best Composer" while King's One Night In Miami won "Best Song" for original song "Speak Now". The Critics Choice Awards is reportedly made up of a 400 member body of North America's largest critics organization making the awards highly prized. This year's 26th Critics Choice Awards made for a thrilling watch. Diggs hosted the show with good spirits using a mixture of in-person guests, live video calls and pre-recorded messages from presenters and nominees.
