Last week, I suggested that I would be fine with Michelle Yeoh winning Best Actress, if only TAR wins Best Picture. At the Critics Choice, the opposite happened Cate Blanchett took the Best Actress award, while Everything Everywhere All At Once took Best Picture, Best Director and the awards for screenplay, editing and best supporting actor. I?ve halfway believed that Cate was kind of clearing the path for Michelle to eventually win the Oscar. When Cate got on stage at the Critics Choice, she actually made an argument that all of the nominees should be on stage because awards races are really dumb:
Blanchett began her speech by joking, Ive got gum in my mouth. I really didnt expect to be standing here, and, This is actually the second award of the evening: Julia Roberts, earlier, presented me with a bottle of mouthwash. So thank you, Julia. This is a poor second.
Blanchett continued by saying best actress is an arbitrary term considering how many extraordinary performances were done by women last year. The other nominees were Viola Davis (The Woman King), Danielle Deadwyler (Till), Margot Robbie (Babylon), Michelle Williams (The Fabelmans) and Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
I cant believe Im up here. This is ridiculous, Blanchett, 53, said in her speech with a laugh. Im so old! The actress then suggested awards season overall get a makeover: I would love it if we would just change this whole fing structure. Its like what is this patriarchal pyramid where someone stands up here. Why dont we just say there was a whole raft of female performances that are in concert and in dialogue with one another?
And stop the televised horse race of it all, continued Blanchett. Because, can I tell you, every single woman with a television, film, advertising, tampon commercials ? whatever ? youre all out there doing amazing work that is inspiring me continually. So thank you. I share this with you all.

I felt that. I don?t know why someone always makes this point in every awards season, but this year? it just feels like the actress categories are so stacked and it?s not fair to choose between wildly diverse performances anymore.
Fashion notes: Cate Blanchett kind of phoned it in this Max Mara. Michelle Yeoh wore Carolina Herrera. I hope someone does a deep dive in how much fun Michelle is having as she gets all dressed up for this awards season.

Angela Bassett took home the Critics Choice Award last night for Best Supporting Actress in Wakanda Forever. Shes been sweeping this awards season and is the one to beat at the Oscars in March. She was in a formfitting black Christian Siriano with a ruffled peplum and hem. Its not my favorite gown, I liked her Golden Globes look better, but her styling elevates it. She elevates everything.I loved how her husband, Courtney B. Vance, has his phone out recording her when she wins. I hope he does that at the Academy Awards too! Her necklace and earrings are Messika. (Thanks JJ for the ID!)
Her bathroom looks so nice!

Here are some photos from last night?s Critics? Choice Awards in LA. There weren?t many ?wow? looks because obviously women are saving their biggest looks for more important award shows. If I was a nominee, I would probably show up in a simple suit or comfortable sack dress and just call it a day. Some women do make a bigger effort though, like Elle Fanning. Elle loves to get dressed up! Elle wore this deconstructed ball gown from Alexander McQueen. She looks like a dream. Genuinely, I love this on her.
People were going on and on about Aubrey Plaza in this bespoke Louis Vuitton and? I don?t get it? It?s not a bad dress but jeez. Also: some women shouldn?t go blonde and Aubrey is one of them.
Viola Davis in custom Valentino. It?s sparkly and flattering, although I feel like there are too many design elements. I was too busy looking at the half-sleeve and half-cape instead of taking in the whole dress.
I think Daisy Edgar-Jones is really pretty but I?m starting to wonder if her stylist is undermining her. This is Gucci and it?s way too much. Like Viola?s dress, too many design elements.
Claire Foy in Prada. It looks like she?s wearing a repurposed sarong. I kind of enjoy it and whatever, it?s different.
Kaley Cuoco in Dior, a custom maternity dress. I?m shocked this is Dior! The cutouts at the neckline are kind of terrible, they should have just lowered the neck on the dress. It feels very Sister Wife, very Country Music Awards.
Jennifer Coolidge in Dolce & Gabbana. Simple, fine. It?s amazing to see Coolidge get all of this recognition for The White Lotus.
