I was not planning on live blogging the Critics Choice Awards, but they have been so egregiously awful so far, that I feel like I have to do it. So let's recap what's happened so far:
-It opened with an awkward male stripper routine that introduced Michael Strahan.
-The first award went to Birdman for Best Ensemble.
-Strahan has been awful as a host so far. So awkward and painful to watch.
-Next award is Best Young Actor/Actress. I would bet on Tony Revolori for The Grand Budapest Hotel.
-Ellar Coltrane wins for Boyhood. He's really good in the movie. Not truly surprised by this one at all.
-Hopefully we don't have to see Michael Strahan do any more dumb jokes again. He's been terrible so far.
-Josh Gad and Leslie Mann are here to present an award. Time to get in some blatant marketing for The Wedding Ringer.
-Best Actor in an Action Movie. Probably going to be Pratt or Cooper.
-Bradley Cooper for American Sniper. Cooper not here.
-Next up is Best Actress in an Action Movie. I would go with Blunt here.
-Yeah! Emily Blunt! Nice win there for Edge of Tomorrow. Not the best movie of 2014, but highly underrated and it is so much fun.
-Cute moment between Krasinski and Blunt.
-Make Michael Strahan go away. Please. For the love of God.
-Adam Scott is here to present the award for Best Action movie.
-Any one of the five nominees could win here (except maybe Fury).
-Guardians of the Galaxy wins Best Action Movie. Good win there. It's a very fun movie.
-James Gunn and Chris Pratt are probably two of my favorite people.
-Strahan reveals that Antonio Sanchez won Best Score for Birdman. John Krasinski is now here to present the next award.
-Best Animated Feature is up next. It would be some sweet, sweet revenge if The LEGO Movie won.
-Come on, LEGO Movie. Please. Funniest movie of the year by far.
-Thank you, Critics. I love you all. Forget the Academy.
-And more Strahan,.....ugh. I'm done with this.
-Chris Pratt is here to give the first ever MVP award to Jessica Chastain.
-Jessica Chastain was in so many movies. Wow. She did have a truly stellar year.
-Diane Kruger is here to present the award for Best Supporting Actor.
-J.K. Simmons wins for Whiplash. Big shocker there.
-Okay, I laughed at that one. Strahan is currently dressed up like Tony Revolori from The Grand Budapest Hotel.
-Jared Leto is here to present the award for Best Supporting Actress. Patricia Arquette will win.
-Tilda Swinton should win. No question in my mind.
-Patricia Arquette wins Best Supporting Actress. Another big shocker. NOT.
-Her speech ran long. Save something for the Oscars. You're going to win.
-Michelle Monaghan and Garrett Hedlund are here to present the award for Best Song.
-Please be Everything is Awesome. More revenge for The LEGO Movie.
-"Glory" from Selma wins Best Original Song. Not surprising in the least, but I was hoping for The LEGO Movie.
-Another good speech from Common.
-Sweet, Chris Hemsworth is presenting Ron Howard with the Genius award. Very happy to see that.
-Howard has had a great career. He is very deserving of a Lifetime Achievement award.
-Standing ovation for Howard. Love this dude. Can't wait for In the Heart of the Sea.
-Good speech from Howard.
-Visual Effects went to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
-Best Hair and Makeup- Guardians of the Galaxy
-Best Production and Costume Design- The Grand Budapest Hotel
-Best Cinematography- Birdman
-Best Editing- Birdman
-Wow, they announced so many awards there. I couldn't keep up.
-Is it too late to change the host of this show? Can we put Ron Howard back up there?
-Tyler Perry is here to present the award for Best Actor in a Comedy.
-Keaton could win, but Fiennes has a shot as well.
-Michael Keaton wins Best Actor in a Comedy for Birdman. Could win Best Actor again later tonight.
-Keaton's speech was actually pretty funny. Nice job.
-Best Actress in a Comedy is up next. Please give it to Rose Byrne.
-Jenny Slate wins Best Actress in a Comedy for Obvious Child. Really was hoping for Byrne, but okay.
-Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette are here to present the award for Best Comedy. Birdman is gonna take this one.
-The Grand Budapest Hotel wins Best Comedy. That is awesome! I really like Birdman, but The Grand Budapest Hotel is a masterpiece.
-Best Director and Lifetime Achievement Award are up next.
-Poor Rene Russo. She has laryngitis and she's trying to present Costner's lifetime achievement award.
-Now they have the guy from Storage Wars up here. Great. Nothing like big ads for your own TV shows.
-Costner has been in some really fantastic movies. The Untouchables, Dances with Wolves, Field of Dreams- all fantastic movies.
-Good speech by Costner. Little long though.
-Judd Apatow is here to present the award for Best Director. Linklater will take the award here.
-It'd be cool if Wes Anderson won.
-But, no surprise there. Linklater takes it again.
-The most interesting category left is Best Actor. We pretty much know the rest.
-Patrick Stewart is here to present the award for Best Actress. Julianne Moore has this one in the bag.
-Julianne Moore with another win for Still Alice. I'm gonna get real tired of seeing here win every single time.
-Best Actor is up next. Really hoping that this thing wraps up soon.
-There were so many awards that the Critics Choice did not announce tonight. Will be interesting to see what they are.
-Now, for the big one- Best Actor.
-If Keaton wins here, it's a huge step forward for his campaign.
-Keaton's a double-winner tonight. Solidifies himself as the front-runner for Best Actor.
-Another funny speech from Keaton. Humble, cool and collected.
-Best Picture up next. Should be Boyhood, but an upset could shake up the race.
-Ben Kingsley is here to give Boyhood its award.
-Boyhood wins Best Picture at the Critics Choice Awards. One step closer to the Oscar.
-And that wraps up the live blog! Pretty standard night. Not anything overly exceptional or surprising. Grand Budapest Hotel is definitely #2 behind Boyhood. Keaton should win Best Actor. More will be revealed at the SAG Awards on Saturday.
