Critics Choice Awards 2026: Sarah Snook bags Best Actress Award in Limited Series, says she 'regrets' not preparing speech

Sarah Snook wins Best Actress at Critics Choice Awards 2026 for 'All Her Fault' and candidly admits she forgot to prepare an acceptance speech.

"I just forgot what we were doing, and I didn't write a speech or anything - Sarah Snook"

Los Angeles, January 5

Actor Sarah Snook won the award for Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television at the Critics Choice Awards 2026, which are currently underway. The actor was honoured for her performance in All Her Fault.

Snook, 38, won a competitive category that included Jessica Biel, Meghann Fahy, Michelle Williams, Robin Wright, and Renee Zellweger. The award marks another significant achievement in Snook's career, adding to her growing list of accolades.

According to PEOPLE, as Snook came on stage to accept the award on Sunday, she candidly admitted that she "regrets" not preparing a speech in advance. Addressing the audience, the actor shared that she had nearly forgotten about the event while travelling to the ceremony.

Recalling a conversation with her husband on the way to the awards, Snook said, "My husband was like, 'You seem a bit distant,' in the car on the way here, and I was like, 'Yeah, I just forgot what we were doing, and I didn't write a speech or anything, and I'm just trying to go through some things now'."

She further revealed that even after arriving at the venue, she once again forgot about preparing her remarks as she was busy reconnecting with people. "And then I forgot when we got here again, 'cause it was so nice to see everybody, and now I've gotten up here, and I'm regretting all of it."

Snook quickly wrapped up her speech. She spoke warmly about her time on the show and the bond she shared with the team.

She said, "We had an awesome time with the crew, shooting really great stuff, and I think that's the main thing: just having a great time while we're shooting, 'cause we're just playing pretend."

In All Her Fault, Snook plays Marissa Irvine, a mother who goes to pick up her five-year-old son from a playdate, only to learn that he was never there. The series follows the frantic search for the missing child and explores how fear, suspicion and blame gradually begin to consume everyone involved.

Great win for her, but honestly, a little preparation shows respect for the award and the institution. It's a big platform. That said, her spontaneous speech about having a great time on set was lovely and genuine.

Her performance was truly gripping. The premise of the show—a child missing from a playdate—is every parent's nightmare. It's interesting to see international content exploring these universal fears. Well-deserved award!

"Just playing pretend" – what a humble way to put it. Meanwhile, our Indian award shows could learn a thing or two about keeping speeches short and sweet! Less drama, more genuine moments like this.

It's nice to see a star being so down-to-earth. The pressure at these events must be immense. Winning against such a strong category (Jessica Biel, Michelle Williams!) is a huge accomplishment. Kudos to her!

Her confession makes the win feel more human. We always see the polished versions. This was a breath of fresh air. Also, the show's plot is very relevant in today's times. Hope it gets a wider release here.
