The stars are aligning at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards.
Indeed, Wicked star Ethan Slater and Jeff Goldblum, Emilia Peréz‘s Zoe Saldaña, Stranger Thing‘s David Harbour and English Teacher‘s Brian Jordan Alvarez were among the first celebs to arrive at the Feb. 7 award show—hosted by Chelsea Handler—at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. And we must say, the men are nailing it when it comes to the fashion.
The ceremony, which was postponed last month amid the devastating Southern California wildfires, is bringing together stars from both television and film to honor their work over the last year.
Leading the 2025 Critics Choice Awards nominations are films Conclave and Wicked, with 11 nods each, including Best Actor for Conclave‘s Ralph Fiennes and Best Actress for Wicked‘s Cynthia Erivo.
Erivo’s Wicked costar Ariana Grande also received a nod in the Best Supporting Actress category, further proving their portrayals of Elphaba and Glinda resonated with audiences, as well as their fellow actors.
“They have such a strong bond that I admire so much in the movie,” Marissa Bode, who portrays Elphaba’s younger sister Nessarose in Wicked, told E! News in November. “These young girls are just figuring themselves out and translating into who they are as people—having a strong and loving bond to one another.”
