The Critics Choice Awards aired Sunday night without much fanfare. The CW’s broadcast of the 28th annual ceremony drew just 900,000 viewers, according to early Nielsen numbers.
That’s a slight dip from last year, when the broadcast took home an audience of 1.1M, which falls in line with every other awards show telecast losing viewers over the past few years. On Tuesday, NBC’s broadcast of the Golden Globes brought in the lowest ratings ever for the ceremony.
Over the course of the three-hour Critics Choice broadcast, A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once won Best Picture, Brendan Fraser won Best Actor for A24’s The Whale, and Cate Blanchett took Best Actress for Focus Features’ Tár. View the full list of winners here.
The ratings winner of the night was NBC’s broadcast of the AFC Wild Card matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens. The game drew about 21.2M viewers and a 5.6 rating in the advertiser-targeted 18-49 demographic.
While that’s just a hair down from the comparable Steelers vs. Chiefs game last year, pro football continues to be just about the only thing that can pull in huge numbers for any broadcast network.
Ratings tend to be sinking across the board, but the NFL regular season actually drove some record numbers for the broadcasters this year. NBC’s Sunday Night Football, the network was up 3% from last season and scored its best viewership since 2019 with an average of 19.9M viewers across the 18-week season.
Other primetime fare on Sunday night included CBS’ lineup of East New York with 5.1M viewers and NCIS: Los Angeles with 4.5M.

The perils of wearing vintage…
With the lively, fun and star-packed Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night at the Fairmont Century Plaza ballroom (and accompanying viewing party upstairs that elegantly handled the 300 members and guests who lost the organization’s ticket lottery and couldn’t get a seat) now history, there is really nothing between it and the January 24 announcement of Oscar nominations. With the nationally televised show airing 48 hours before Oscar balloting closes (Tuesday at 5 p.m. PT) though, its influence could be strong, especially for moving speeches from the likes of Brendan Fraser; an impressive sweep of top categories Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, Supporting Actor (Ke Huy Quan becoming the runaway train of acting winners thus far this season) for Everything Everywhere All At Once; and among other memorable moments, the great Guillermo del Toro looking to continue sweeping up every animated trophy in sight.
Glam, Bam! The 28th Critics’ Choice Awards took place on Sunday, January 15, at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel in Los Angeles and the red carpet did not disappoint. See every look here!

A designer disaster! Amanda Seyfried suffered a wardrobe malfunction at the 2023 Critics’ Choice Awards.
.On January 15, arrived at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles wearing a gold archival Dior Haute Couture gown made up of shimmering chiffon fabric…delicate shimmering chiffon fabric that ended up "ripping and actually breaking" while the actor walked the red carpet. "I'm just going to take off my dress," she said as one of the dress' sleeves literally fell down her arm on camera during an interview with Access Hollywood. "It keeps breaking…Honestly, it's old, it's beautiful!"Well, it's actually not that old.
