However, one action from the show received widespread reactions from fans on social media.For some of its Supporting Actor/Actress categories, the production decided to have both the male and female awardees in the category on stage at the same time to accept the recognition.While on stage to present an award, actor Seth Rogen threw a subtle dig at the same and said:“That was weird! Why did they do that? Are we crunched for time? Get another hour! It can't be that expensive to do that. You know how I know that? This show airs at 4 pm on the CW, that cannot be an expensive timeslot.”This action from the Critics Choice awards was also severely criticized by fans who took to social media to express their opinions. They felt that it was terrible for the show to have both awardees on stage together. Primarily because the winners only had about 30 seconds to give their acceptance speech and secondly, having two winners with a small time limit wasn't respectful to both artists.Ruth Bauer-Garcia@RuthBauerGarciaI'm so confused.
