SEOUL, March 14 (Bernama) — The South Korean sensation “Squid Game” has won best non-English language TV series and best actor at this year’s Critics Choice Awards.

At the ceremony held by the Critics Choice Association in Los Angeles on Sunday, “Squid Game” was named Best Foreign Language Series and its lead Lee Jung-jae won Best Actor in a Drama Series, Yonhap news agency reported.

For the best foreign language award, the all-Korean Netflix original competed with the Mexican comedy “Acapulco,” the French comedy drama “Call My Agent!” the French thriller “Lupin,” the Spanish crime action series “Money Heist” and the American-Mexican crime drama “Narcos: Mexico.”
