Awards season is ramping up, and on Friday night (January 14), it was the critics' turn to name their picks for the greatest Hollywood achievements of the past year. A-listers from Steven Spielberg to Warren Beatty were in the building for the 16th annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards, broadcast live on VH1, which honored hit flicks like "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Fighter."

"Inception" and "The Social Network" scored the most love from the Broadcast Film Critics Association, with the former nearly sweeping technical honors by picking up six trophies for Best Cinematography, Best Editing and more. However, "Network" was named Best Picture and nabbed three other wins, including Best Director for filmmaker David Fincher. While "Black Swan" broke a CCMA record for the most-nominated movie ever with 12 nods, only Natalie Portman walked away with hardware, snagging Best Actress for her portrayal of a troubled ballerina.
