Well, that happened. This year's Critics Choice Awards show was mostly lackluster apart from a few great speeches and it seems like several categories now locked down. As such, it was a predictable night, where I managed to correctly predict 23 of the 28 winners. Interestingly, many of tonight's winners were snubbed at the Oscars, while Boyhood once again won the top prize. Here are all the winners:
