March 13, 2022—It was a big day on the Awards Season calendar. The BAFTAs took place in London and in Los Angeles it was the Critics Choice Awards. Now there are some pretty clear favorites in the movie categories for the Oscars on March 27. Will Smith (King Richard) and Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) are looking good in the Best Actor and Actress slots. Ariana de Bose (West Side Story) and Troy Kotsur (CODA) seem like locks in the Best Supporting Actress and Actor categories.

In other words, the prizes are being spread around to lots of different movies. And in some ways the theme extends to jewelry. Not prizes, of course, but styles. They continued to run the gamut at Critics Choice. The biggest surprises to this jewelry journalist were the modified head pieces worn by Jada Pinkett Smith and Jodie Turner Smith. See all the best looks below.

Oh, and I wondered in my post about the BAFTAs that took place in London today, how nominated stars for both awards programs made their decisions on which events to attend. In the end they didn’t have to decide. People in London changed ensembles and went to an outpost party for the Critics Choice Awards after the BAFTAs ended.
