While Barbie received the most nods any film had ever received in the history of the Critics Choice Awards with a whopping 18 nominations, it was Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer that cleaned up on the night. The 29th Critics Choice Awards took place in California on Sunday (January 14), with Oppenheimer stealing the show taking home eight gongs.

Robert Downey Jr. got an amazing honor on Sunday night… and he used it to get petty revenge for bad reviews. Stars really are just like us! LOLz!

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer dominating the evening.The Cillian Murphy-starring film about the father of the atomic bomb took away eight awards on the night including Best Director and Best Picture. Murphy was expected to take home Best Actor, but lost out to Paul Giamatti, who won Best Actor for his turn in The Holdovers in one of the biggest upsets of the evening.

Paul Giamatti won at the Critic Choice Awards for Best Actor for The Holdovers and acknowledged his viral fame this week during his acceptance speech.

Jeffrey Wright, star of Cord Jefferson’s provocative debut feature American Fiction, says he felt a personal affinity with his character Thelonious ‘Monk’ Ellison in the film, in part because of the challenges Monk experiences with regard to family issues. Monk is an author and a professor of English literature who discovers he may have to lower his standards to attain some kind of glory in the phony world of publishing. We follow him as he takes an enforced leave of absence to care for his ailing mother, a situation that the actor himself is painfully familiar with — Wright’s mother died a year before he received Jefferson’s script.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The SAG Awards nominations provided an exciting blend of usual suspects and stunning omissions. For some awards season strategists — particularly the ones behind critically adored films like “Anatomy of a Fall” and “May December” — there’s no choice but to ask, “what happened?” The SAG Awards’ pearl anniversary brought expected mentions for Oscar contenders such as the two summer smash hits “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” leading the tally for all movies with four nominations each. In addition, the crime epic “Killers of the Flower Moon” and the satirical dramedy “American Fiction” managed three mentions.

Nominations for the 30th annual SAG Awards were announced Wednesday, with Barbie and Oppenheimer mirroring their big summers at the box office by leading the way with four nominations apiece in the movie races, while on the TV side the last season of Succession scored five noms to lead the field.

The nominations for the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards are in!
