Leonardo DiCaprio was the target of a joke about his association with Jeff Bezos at the Critics' Choice Awards on Sunday. Host Chelsea Handler quipped that the actor almost missed the ceremony because he was 'trapped on a boat in St Barts' with the Amazon founder.
Handler's remark referenced photos of DiCaprio and Bezos together on a superyacht near St Barts days earlier. The actor, who starred in Titanic, appeared awkward as Handler added: 'It was just like the Titanic, but worse because Jeff Bezos was there.'
DiCaprio was nominated for his role in One Battle After Another, which won Best Picture and Best Director for Paul Thomas Anderson. The ceremony also saw British drama Adolescence win four awards, including a historic win for young actor Owen Cooper.
Timothée Chalamet won Best Actor for Marty Supreme, while Irish actress Jessie Buckley took Best Actress for Hamnet. In her acceptance speech, Buckley praised co-star Paul Mescal, joking: 'I could drink you like water.'
Horror film Sinners by Ryan Coogler won four categories, including Best Screenplay. Amy Madigan won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Weapons, beating Wicked's Ariana Grande.
