Jeff Bridges is opening up about his recent health battles.
The True Grit star was awarded the Lifetime Achievement at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night. Jeff dedicated the prestigious award, presented by Big Lebowski costar John Goodman, to his late father, Airplane star Lloyd Bridges, saying:
Ha! And you wonder why there are so many nepo babies…

The 74-year-old went on to thank his family, which he explained has always been “so supportive.” However, the overwhelming honor of it all caused Jeff to forget to touch on something that has been affecting his life, and career, in a MAJOR way for the last two years: a battle with both lymphoma AND COVID-19. He explained to Entertainment Tonight in a backstage interview:
He’s of course referring to his action drama, which began filming before the pandemic, and before his scary diagnoses — but what a scary revelation that the Academy Award winning actor didn’t think he was going to make it through the health battles… He continued:
Brenneman spoke to People at the ceremony,
While things may have been touch-and-go medically, she could tell by his spirits he would make it, telling him “I think you’re going to beat this.”

We’re so glad that Jeff is recovering, as we reported back in September 2021 that his cancer was in remission. Here’s hoping we get many more years with the actor!

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.
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.
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.
