It’s a “Barbie” awards world.
Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar sensation leads the Critics Choice Awards nominations for film with a record-breaking 18, the most of any film in the organization’s 29 years, surpassing “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “The Shape of Water” which landed 14 during their respective years. Among its mentions were for best picture, director, actress (Margot Robbie), supporting actor (Ryan Gosling (supporting actor), supporting actress (America Ferrera (supporting actress) and three for original song: “Dance the Night,” “I’m Just Ken” and “What Was I Made For?”
Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” garnered 13 nominations each including best picture, tied for the second most for movies. Rounding out the best picture category are Cord Jefferson’s “American Fiction,” Blitz Bazawule’s “The Color Purple,” Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers,” Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro,” Celine Song’s “Past Lives” and a surprising nom for Emerald Fennell’s “Saltburn.”
The winners will be broadcast live on The CW on Sunday, Jan. 14, with Chelsea Handler returning as host.
