Nomadland boosted its position as Oscars frontrunner and The Crown confirmed its dominance of the TV awards cycle after the pair repeated their Golden Globes success in the Critics’ Choice awards, handed out by the group for TV, radio and online critics in the US and Canada in a largely virtual event hosted by actor Taye Diggs.

Nomadland, the drama about retirees roaming the US in search of work after the 2008 financial crash, won four awards, including best picture and best director for Chloé Zhao; however, Frances McDormand, long considered an Oscar favourite, lost out in the best actress category to Carey Mulligan for Promising Young Woman.

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom emerged in second place with three awards, including best actor for the late Chadwick Boseman in his role as trumpeter Levee Green in the 1920s-set music drama. As at the Globes, where Boseman won the same award, the actor’s wife Taylor Simone Ledward accepted it on his behalf, saying in an emotional speech that “his work in this film deserves this – he deserves this”.

In the TV categories, Netflix’s royal family saga The Crown took best drama series, and three acting prizes: for Josh O’Connor as Prince Charles, Emma Corrin as Princess Diana and Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher in the best actor, actress and supporting actress in a drama series respectively.

Ted Lasso, the series starring Jason Sudeikis as a Premier League football manager, came out on top in the comedy categories, winning best comedy series, best comedy actor for Sudeikis, and best comedy supporting actress for Hannah Waddingham. Elsewhere in the TV sections the awards were shared around, with The Queen’s Gambit picking up two, for best limited series and best actress in a limited series for Anya Taylor-Joy.
