# 28th Critics' Choice Awards

The 28th Critics' Choice Awards were presented on January 15, 2023, at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, California, honoring the finest achievements of filmmaking and television programming in 2022. The ceremony was broadcast on The CW and hosted by Chelsea Handler, taking over the reins from Taye Diggs who had hosted the show consecutively in the previous four years.
Like in the previous two years, film and television nominations were announced separately. The television nominations were announced on December 6, 2022. The film nominations were announced on December 14, 2022.
Everything Everywhere All at Once led the film nominations with 14—a then-record shared with The Shape of Water (2017), The Favourite (2018), and The Irishman (2019)—followed by The Fabelmans with 11. ABC's first-year mockumentary comedy Abbott Elementary led the television nominations with six, followed by Better Call Saul's sixth and final season with five. Overall, Netflix received a total of 28 nominations, 13 for film and 15 for television, the most for any studio or network (for the sixth year in a row).
