Critics Choice Awards: Nomadland wins best picture and best director, while pint-sized Minari actor Alan Kim bursts into tears - ABC News

US road movie Nomadland has accelerated towards award season glory as it topped the prizes at the Critics Choice Awards, picking up best picture and best director for Chloe Zhao.

Key points:

• The film about van dwellers living on the open road also won best cinematography and adapted screenplay
• Carey Mulligan bolstered her Oscars hopes with a best actress win for her role in Promising Young Woman
• Alan Kim melted hearts by bursting into uncontrollable tears in his tiny tuxedo as he accepted best young actor.

The film about van dwellers living on America's spectacular open road also won cinematography and adapted screenplay, confirming its Oscars frontrunner status two days after the Academy voting window began.

However, the movie, which also won big at last weekend's Golden Globes, has drawn a nationalist backlash in China, where its release was recently thrown in doubt after social media users and state media questioned Beijing-born Zhao's loyalty to her birth country.

The Critics Choice Awards — chosen by 400 members of North America's largest critics organisation — took place remotely from a Los Angeles stage.

Carey Mulligan bolstered her Oscars hopes in a crowded field for best actress with her turn as a revenge-seeker who preys on misogynist men in Promising Young Woman, which also won for original screenplay.

Alan Kim, the pint-sized, eight-year-old star of Korean-American immigrant drama Minari, melted hearts by bursting into uncontrollable tears in his tiny tuxedo as he accepted best young actor.

The film also won for best foreign-language film.

On a night overshadowed by CBS's explosive interview of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry by Oprah Winfrey, British royals drama "The Crown" topped the television categories, with four wins including best drama series.

Oscars nominations will be announced March 15, with the season-crowning ceremony pushed back this year to April 25.
