Kathy Bates flaunted her incredible slimmed-down figure as she arrived at the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica, California on Sunday night.
The Matlock star, 77, has lost over a 100 pounds since turning to the type 2 diabetes medication Ozempic – now better known for its impact on tackling obesity.
For the awards ceremony, Bates exuded confidence in a classic black blazer and skinny trousers.
The Oscar-winner also wore a black satin top and black satin ballet flats with flashy rhinestone buckles.
Her grey hair was styled in a sleek updo and she wore natural glam makeup, including a bold red lip and soft eyeliner.
Bates locked arms with her hunky Matlock co-star Henry Haber during her red carpet photo op.
Haber, who joined season two of the gender-bending reboot of the iconic 1980s TV series, towered over Bates in a pinstripe suit and tie.
Bates got serious about her health following her diagnosis for type 2 diabetes in 2017, but there was a moment six years prior that truly sparked her weight-loss journey.
At the time, the Oscar winner was portraying sarcastic criminal defense attorney Harriet ‘Harry’ Korn in David E. Kelley’s legal comedy Harry’s Law, which aired for two seasons on NBC before being canceled in 2012.
‘When I was so heavy in Harry’s Law, I had to sit down in between every take, and it was awful,’ Kathy recalled to People last year.
‘I’m ashamed to have put myself through that, to be honest.’
Bates successfully shed 80lbs off her 5ft3in frame before hopping aboard the trendy Ozempic train and dropping an additional 20lbs, which made ‘working a lot easier.’
‘But now that I’ve been able to get really healthy, I can move, I can breathe, I can have fun, I’m not sore,’ the Matlock producer-star, who also uses a treadmill, added.
‘I get tired and realize I’m like an old lady, but even the kids get tired. But it’s been a magnificent experience. I never expected to have this at my age, at the end of my career.’

Bates previously told People in October 2024: ‘Physically, I’m capable of doing this show. I don’t have to sit down. I can stand up all day long and walk and move and breathe and do so many things that I couldn’t before.’
The actress, who survived ovarian cancer and breast cancer, has even seen an improvement in her lymphedema since shedding weight and she no longer has to wear compression sleeves on her arms.
Bates’ incredible health transformation also comes amid the success of Matlock, which premiere on CBS in 2024. Season two aired in fall 2025 and its expected to be renewed for a third.
Bates’ performance as criminal defense attorney Madeline “Matty” Matlock has earned her several awards, including a nomination in the Best Actress In A Drama Series category at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards.
This year’s ceremony is being hosted for a fourth time by comedian Chelsea Handler at Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar.
Long considered one of the most accurate crystal balls in Hollywood, the Critics Choice Awards have a strong track record of forecasting Oscar glory.
That predictive power was on full display last season, when Anora used its Critics Choice Best Picture win to reassert itself after being shut out at the Golden Globe and SAG Awards, momentum it ultimately carried all the way to the Academy Awards.
Three acting winners, Adrien Brody, Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldaña, also repeated their Critics Choice victories at the Oscars.
With the Golden Globe Awards not airing until January 11 this year, the Critics Choice Awards step into the spotlight as the first major televised ceremony of 2026, giving studios and contenders a crucial early boost.
Critics Choice Association CEO Joey Berlin called the awards ‘a celebration of the very best in film and television,’ adding that the group’s voters help guide audiences toward standout storytelling each year.
Leading the pack this year is Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, which scored a jaw-dropping 17 nominations across film and television categories – just one shy of Barbie’s record-breaking 18 nods in 2024.
Close behind are One Battle After Another with 14 nominations, and Hamnet and Frankenstein, which each earned 11.
Other major contenders include Marty Supreme, Wicked: For Good, Sentimental Value, Train Dreams, Jay Kelly and Bugonia.
The Best Actor race in film is stacked, with Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme), Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Michael B. Jordan (Sinners) and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent) battling it out.
Best Actress nominees include Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another), Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value), Amanda Seyfried (The Testament of Ann Lee) and Emma Stone (Bugonia).
In the supporting categories, Best Supporting Actor contenders feature Benicio Del Toro (One Battle After Another), Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein), Paul Mescal (Hamnet), Sean Penn (One Battle After Another), Adam Sandler (Jay Kelly) and Stellan Skarsgård (Sentimental Value).
Best Supporting Actress nominees include Elle Fanning (Sentimental Value), Ariana Grande (Wicked: For Good), Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (Sentimental Value), Amy Madigan (Weapons), Wunmi Mosaku (Sinners) and Teyana Taylor (One Battle After Another).
On the television side, the acting races are just as competitive.
Drama Series contenders include Sterling K. Brown (Paradise), Adam Scott (Severance), Diego Luna (Andor), Billy Bob Thornton (Landman) and Keri Russell (The Diplomat), alongside performances from Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us) and Carrie Coon (The Gilded Age).
Comedy categories bring familiar favorites and breakout turns, with nominees such as Adam Brody and Kristen Bell (Nobody Wants This), Ted Danson (A Man on the Inside), Jean Smart (Hacks), Danny McBride (The Righteous Gemstones) and Seth Rogen (The Studio).
Limited series and TV movie races are led by Stephen Graham (Adolescence), Brian Tyree Henry (Dope Thief), Charlie Hunnam (Monster: The Ed Gein Story), Sarah Snook (All Her Fault), Michelle Williams (Dying for Sex) and Renée Zellweger (Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy).
Supporting categories feature standout work from Tramell Tillman (Severance), Billy Crudup (The Morning Show), Allison Janney (The Diplomat), Hannah Einbinder (Hacks), Janelle James (Abbott Elementary), Julianne Moore (Sirens) and Nick Offerman (Death by Lightning).
Also on the TV side, Adolescence leads with six nominations, followed closely by Nobody Wants This with five.
Heavy hitters like The Diplomat, Hacks, The Pitt, All Her Fault and Ghosts also made strong showings.
Studio powerhouses are equally competitive, with Warner Bros. leading film nominations and Netflix dominating the television field.
This year’s ceremony also introduces four new categories – including best variety series, casting, stunt design and sound.
On the red carpet, expect a parade of A-listers.
Nominees like Chalamet, Stone, Grande and more are expected to attend, alongside presenters including Colman Domingo, Regina Hall, Diego Luna, Allison Janney, Kaley Cuoco, Ava DuVernay, Bradley Whitford and Billy Bob Thornton.
