The critics have spoken. One week after the Golden Globes kicked off the 2024 awards season, the Critics Choice Awards honored the best in 2023 film and TV in a Jan. 14 ceremony hosted by Chelsea Handler.
Winning actors included Oppenheimer’s Robert Downey Jr., Poor Things’ Emma Stone, Beef stars Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, and Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook for their performances on Succession.
The movie Barbie, starring Margot Robbie, America Ferrera, and Ryan Gosling, garnered the most film nominations with a whopping 18, winning several awards, including Best Comedy. But the Critics Choice Association, which is made up of television, radio, and online critics, ultimately gave Oppenheimer the award for Best Picture, plus seven other honors.
The film and Poor Things each received 13 nominations, with Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon following close behind with 12.
On the TV side, The Morning Show led with six nominations. Succession followed with five Critics Choice Award nods, while shows such as Abbott Elementary and Loki earned four each.
The Critics Choice Awards began airing live on the CW at 7 p.m. ET.
