Which made-for-television movie won at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards?
Answer
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy won Best Movie Made for Television at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards.
The film is the fourth entry in the Bridget Jones series and is based on Helen Fielding’s 2013 novel Mad About the Boy. Renée Zellweger returned as Bridget Jones, the character she first played in Bridget Jones’s Diary in 2001.
The story follows Bridget as a widowed single mother navigating family life, friendship, and romance. Its television-film award recognized the completed movie rather than Zellweger’s performance; the acting categories were listed separately.
Other nominees in the category included Deep Cover, The Gorge, Mountainhead, Nonnas, and Summer of 69. The award therefore refers to the film’s overall achievement as a made-for-television production.
