‘Barbie’

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie leads this year’s Critics Choice Award nominations with 18, breaking the record for most nominations ever for a single film.

The blockbuster is up for best picture, best director, best original screenplay and acting nods for Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.

Next in line is Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, which have 13 nominations each including best picture. American Fiction, The Color Purple, Killers Of The Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives and Saltburn round off the best picture cohort. 

The nominations follow a similar pattern to the Golden Globes which were announced on Monday, with more love from the Critics Choice for Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers - scoring nine here in comparison to three at the Globes - and The Color Purple, which received five Critics Choice and two Golden Globe nods. 

The winners will be announced at the 29th Critics Choice Awards ceremony on January 14, 2024.
