'Squid Game 2' Wins Best Foreign Language Series at the Critics Choice Awards in the US

Beating Out "Pachinko," "Senna," and "Acapulco"

The Netflix series "Squid Game" Season 2 has been honored with an award at the Critics Choice Awards, a prestigious ceremony in the American film and television industry. According to the Critics Choice Association (CCA) website on the 9th, at the 30th ceremony held on the 7th (local time) in Los Angeles, USA, "Squid Game" won the Best Foreign Language Series award, beating out titles such as "Pachinko," "Senna," "My Brilliant Friend," "The Law of Lydia Poet," "La Maquina," "Citadel: Honey Bunny," and "Acapulco." The CCA only announces the names of nominees and winners without distinguishing between seasons.

"Squid Game" had previously won trophies at this awards ceremony in 2022 with Season 1. At that time, it received the Best Foreign Language Series award and Best Actor (Lee Jung-jae). This recent win is significant as it is the first award Season 2 has received at a major American awards show since it faced disappointment at last month's Golden Globes. The CCA, which organizes the Critics Choice Awards, is an organization comprising over 600 broadcast and film critics from the United States and Canada, who annually evaluate the quality of works and actors' performances to present awards.
