The 8th Critics' Choice Awards were presented on January 17, 2003, honoring the finest achievements of 2002 filmmaking.[1]
This ceremony is particularly notable for the moment when Best Actor nominee Robin Williams came up on stage after being called upon by Best Actor co-winner Jack Nicholson, who claimed to be "baked", to assist him with his acceptance speech, culminating in what is considered to be the funniest moment in the awards' history.[2][3][4][5] The moment was uploaded on YouTube in July 2009; it currently has over 4 million views.[6]
