Oppenheimer continued its awards season dominance with major wins at the 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards, including Best Picture.
Oppenheimer took home eight awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr., and Best Cast Ensemble. The film also won several technical awards, including Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound Design.
The Best Actress and Best Actor race heated up in a big way as it saw Emma Stone take home the Critics Choice Award for Poor Things after Lily Gladstone took home the prize last week at the Golden Globes. The Globes separates musical/comedy from drama, so Stone won in the former category last week while Gladstone won in the latter. The Killers of the Flower Moon actress has taken home several precursor awards, which has long made her the frontrunner, but it looks like it might be more of a tight race between her and Stone for the Oscar.
Many thought Cillian Murphy would take it home for Oppenheimer, but Paul Giamatti won the Best Actor Critics Choice Award for his role in The Holdovers. Their situation mirrors the Stone/Gladstone case at the Golden Globes last week, with Murphy winning Best Actor – Drama while Giamatti took it home for Musical/Comedy. Again, another race that might be even tighter than anticipated.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph continued to dominate the Best Supporting Actress category with another win for The Holdovers. She has been the clear frontrunner in this category, and while showings from Danielle Brooks in The Color Purple, Julianne Moore in May December, and Jodie Foster in NYAD have also been praised, Randolph appears to be taking it home come Oscar night should she be nominated.
The pink wave of Barbie was also represented with a total of six wins, including Best Original Screenplay for Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, Best Production Design, Best Song for “I’m Just Ken”, Best Costume Design, Best Hair and Makeup and Best Comedy.
