Inside Photos from Critics Choice 2026: All the Moments You Didn't See on TV!
The 2026 Critics Choice Awards aired on Sunday night (January 4) live from the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, Calif.
The show broadcast on E!, but there were many moments that photographers caught with their cameras that did not make it on the air.
Specifically, we have photos of celebs mingling backstage and in the crowd during commercials and moments that didn’t make it to air.
If you don’t know, comedian Chelsea Handler took on the hosting duties for the fourth consecutive year.
We gathered up the best photos from the night that you likely didn’t get a chance to see yet! Included in the photos are Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothee Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, winners like Jacob Elordi, Rhea Seehorn, Noah Wyle, and more, as well as TV casts like Severance.
