Although Wiz Khalifa got snubbed for an Oscar nom and Golden Globe win, at least he can put Critic Choice Award winner on his resume.

Wiz Khalifa & Charlie Puth‘s tribute song to Paul Walker (Furious 7), “See You Again,” nabbed the Critic Choice Award for Best Song.

Wiz and Puth beat out Ellie Goulding‘s “Love Me Like You Do” (50 Shades of Grey), Lady GaGa‘s “Til It Happens to You” (The Hunting Ground), Brian Wilson’s “One Kind of Love” (Love & Mercy), Sam Smith‘s “Writings on the Wall” (Spectre), and David Lang‘s “Simple Song #3” (Youth), which is pretty huge.

Congrats, Wiz!
