Critics Choice Awards 2022: Halle Berry’s fiery speech, Lady Gaga’s tears, the winners and looks

Awards season continues and last night it was the turn of the Critics Choice Awards 2022. In its 27th edition, critics and journalists once again voted in order to choose the best of cinema and television. With face-to-face ceremonies once again on the rise, the delivery took place at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel in Los Angeles. From Lady Gaga to Jared Leto they walked the carpet and turned heads with their looks.

While Taye Diggs and Nicole Byer were in charge of leading the event, Belfast and Love without barriers they couldn’t against The power of the dog. Although they were the films with the most nominations, the jane campion movie was the favorite of the night (it won in the categories best film, director, adapted screenplay and photography). While, Succession It was the most acclaimed series with ted lasso and Mare of Easttown.

Beyond the looks, always one of the central themes of the galas since celebrities bring out their best suits and dresses for the red carpets, one of the topics of this installment was the powerful speech of Halle Berry, who was the winner of the See Her Award, award that recognizes women who are making their mark in the industry, and that made Lady Gaga cry.

“I realized that we really need to see the reality of others, no matter how uncomfortable it makes us feel, so that we can stop judging and stop pointing fingers, and find compassion and empathy,” the actress said.

He added: “I’ve been in the business for 30 years, and I used to think that if I could play the part of a white man, then I was winning. But you know what? Do you want to know why that didn’t work? Because I am not a white man,” Berry said as he laughed. “So for those roles to work, they would have to be changed substantially. That is why I am so grateful to stand up and live this moment where women stand up and tell our own stories.”
