    Critics Choice 2026: ‘One Battle After Another’ leads winners as film season heats up

    According to Pulse Nigeria, the 2026 Critics Choice Awards winners list has been released, with “One Battle After Another” named Best Picture alongside major acting and directing wins.

    The roll call is already shaping awards-season momentum, as studios and campaigns reposition around what critics groups and industry voters seem to be rewarding this year.

    For fans, it’s also a watchlist: the big winners typically get a second wave of streaming interest and renewed box-office attention.

    Echotitbits take: Awards buzz has real commercial effects—rewatches, rentals, and ‘late discovery’ spikes. Watch for which winners trend on TikTok/Letterboxd next, and whether the biggest victors translate this into momentum for the next major ceremony.

    According to Pulse Nigeria, January 2026 is packed with major anime releases, and its roundup highlights high-profile returns and new titles for both beginners and long-time fans.

    The list emphasizes franchise momentum (sequels and big-name adaptations), and it’s aimed at helping viewers plan what to stream as weekly episodes drop.

    With platform-exclusive rights shaping what viewers can access, Pulse’s guide also reflects how much the season is tied to streaming lineups.

    • Crunchyroll’s Winter 2026 lineup announcement says “JUJUTSU KAISEN Season 3” and “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2” join the season on the platform. (Crunchyroll — website)
    • Polygon notes January 2026 “sees the return of Jujutsu Kaisen and Frieren… all airing on Crunchyroll.” (Polygon — website)

    Echotitbits take: Anime is now mainstream scheduling: a strong season can dominate online conversation the way TV prestige dramas used to. Watch which titles break out on TikTok edits, and whether Netflix/Crunchyroll exclusives shape the biggest fandom debates this month.
