Hedging a bet each way, Glenn Close and Lady Gaga were both crowned best actress at the annual Critics’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles.
With Close, for The Wife, having bested the A Star Is Born actor and singer for the same award at the Golden Globes last week, she said on stage: “I am so thrilled a tie. The world pits us against each other in this profession. And I know, from the other women in this category, we celebrate each other.”
After being announced as the second winner, Gaga, who also won best original song for Shallow, broke down, before tripping on her way up to the stage and admitting she spilt water everywhere.
“I am in shock this evening to be honoured as both a musician and an actress, I cannot tell you what it means to me. It was my greatest dream to be an actor and I gave it up but here I am now with Glenn Close.”
Earlier Amy Adams and Patricia Arquette shared the gong for best actress in a limited series, for Sharp Objects and Escape At Dannemora respectively.
Christian Bale took home both best actor and best actor in a comedy for his portrayal of Dick Cheney in Vice.
But it was Roma’s night, winning best picture, best foreign film and another best director gong for Mexico’s Alfonso Cuaron.
“This bunch of Mexicans are not as bad as sometimes they are portrayed,” Cuaron said, also thanking Netflix for “bringing this film to the people in the mainstream.”
Regina King beat out Nicole Kidman as best supporting actress while Green Book’s Mahershala Ali took home best supporting actor.
Crazy Rich Asians was best comedy, A Quiet Place was best horror and The Favourite won best ensemble.
