'King Richard' Alert! The cast of the award-winning movie, including Serena and Venus Williams, and the actresses who played them, Saniyya Sidney, Demi Singleton, (and, of course, Will Smith) all seemed to have a great time together at the Critics Choice Awards.Getty
Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff haven't been dating for that long, but they're clearly very happy together, posing for the cameras, her in a lovely green and white dress, him in those signature big round glasses.Getty
Venus Williams and Serena Williams absolutely killed it in their complementary - but not matching - silver dresses. The tennis legends came out to support the cast and crew of the movie 'King Richard,' in which Will Smith plays their father.Getty
Van Hunt and Halle Berry took a sweet photo together at the CCAs - and their suits are almost doing a yin and yang thing, with the exact same cut on the collar. (If her collar was white this would be a really satisfying photo.)Getty
Taika Waititi gave us the smolder in this picture with girlfriend Rita Ora - whose purple dress with strategic cutouts is such a power look.Getty
Two legends, one picture! JK Simmons posed with Will Smith in a perfect show of classic men's fashion - Simmons wore a tux, Smith a snazzy, three-piece suit.Getty
Never a dull photo with these two - Jared Leto and Taika Waititi chose to get melodramatic and aggressive for this one. Are they about to fight, or has Leto been spending a little too much time as 'Morbius' these days?Getty
Kristen Stewart and her fiancee Dylan Meyer looked like angels, as usual, holding hands and posing like the power couple they are. Kristen's dress is lovely, but we actually think it's Meyer's pantsuit that is stealing the show this time.Getty
Will Smith shares a hug with his old friend Halle Berry at the Critics' Choice Awards - and Berry looked great in the two-piece black velvet suit she had on!Getty
Ansel Elgort looks spiffy as usual sitting at his table waiting for the ceremony to begin - check out his white shoes! That's what we call a statement piece.Getty
Nicole Byer and Taye Diggs did an excellent job hosting this year's Critics Choice Awards - and Nicole Byer looks FAB in that hot pink dress with that huge updo. Work the room, babe.Getty
Elle Fanning and Kathryn Hahn - do they have a secret handshake or something? Were they high-fiving? How do they know each other? Hahn clearly came over to the table specifically to talk to her.Getty
We'd all love to know what Lin-Manuel Miranda, Annie Mumolo, Kristen Wiig, and Kathryn Hahn are all laughing at in this picture. That must've been a fun table to be at.Getty
More awesome Ted Lasso moments! Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein and Hannah Waddingham sat together for a drink after the ceremony.Getty
We can't blame Joshua Jackson for being unable to take his eyes off of Jodie Turner-Smith in that gorgeous, flowing blue evening gown - she's so radiant she could be a goddess.Getty
Ted Lasso stars Juno Temple and Hannah Waddingham shared a kiss on the Red Carpet for the Critics Choice Awards. (This time, they actually are just gal pals - the kiss was entirely platonic.)Getty
Hoyeon Jung of 'Squid Game' showcased a dramatic and interesting look in this dress - sort of like a 2D hoop skirt.Getty
Andrea Martin was clearly over the moon to get to meet 'Spencer' actress Kristen Stewart at the BAFTA awards. (Many fans were outraged after Stewart was not nominated for the Best Actress award this year.Getty
The girls have been OUT lately! Lady Gaga takes the exposed chest look that so many dresses have been built around to the extreme here, with a dress that you almost have to call entirely open at the chest - the two strategically placed black cups barely look attached. It's a bold look, but she's Lady Gaga, so of course she pulled it off flawlessly.Getty
Kristin Wiig was turning every head in this black ensemble - a sheer dress with a black bikini bottom and not much else - somehow managing to keep things classy with minimal fabric involved. Innovative!Getty

The Critics' Choice Awards - the last major awards show before the Oscars this year - went off without a hitch last night - or actually, with a Hitch, because Will Smith was in fact there.
The Critics' Choice Awards is one awards show you can't claim is out of touch because it's all critics - because, as the name suggests, this is THEIR awards show. For other shows, those selecting the award-winners have to take the opinions of the general public into account; not so with these awards. They're about the best of what's good in the eyes of people who make this stuff their whole life - sort of the opposite of the People's Choice Awards.
But, of course, there is one thing those two awards show, and every other, have in common: They give us a chance to see our favorite stars all glammed up, and to take a look at all the fashion they're wearing - and all the fun they're having out of character.
Here are some of our favorite pictures from this year's Critics' Choice Awards.
