Nominations for the Critics Choice Awards - "Barbie" sets a new record
2023 is clearly the year of "Barbie". This is also reflected in the nominations for the 29th Critics' Choice Awards. The candy-colored comedy from director Greta Gerwig (40) even set a new record with 18 nominations. "Oppenheimer" by master director Christopher Nolan (53) and "Poor Things" by Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (50) were each nominated 13 times. And German actress Sandra Hüller (45) also has reason to celebrate - as she did with the nominations for the Golden Globes a few days ago, according to the US industry magazine "Variety".
"Barbie" beats last year's record
Among others, "Barbie" will be competing in the "Best Film" category at the awards ceremony on January 14, 2024. Hollywood star Margot Robbie (33), who lends her face to Barbie in the toy film adaptation, can celebrate her nomination for "Best Actress in a Leading Role". Ryan Gosling (43) and America Ferrera (39) are nominated in the male and female supporting actor categories. Ferrera's film daughter Ariana Greenblatt (16) could become "Best Young Actress" of the year and the entire acting ensemble could also win an award.
In addition, filmmaker Gerwig is nominated for "Best Director" and, together with partner Noah Baumbach (54), for "Best Original Screenplay". With a total of 18 nominations,"Barbie" surpasses last year's winner "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and "The Shape of Water", which each received 14 nominations in the past.
Another success for Sandra Hüller
German actress Sandra Hü ller was delighted to receive a Golden Globe nomination for her play "Anatomy of a Case" at the beginning of the week. And she has now also been nominated for "Best Actress in a Leading Role" at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards for her captivating performance in the courtroom drama. "Anatomy of a Case" is also in the running for "Best Foreign Language Film" - as is the British concentration camp drama "The Zone of Interest", in which Hüller also stars.
The 2024 Critics' Choice Awards will be presented in Los Angeles at the beginning of next year. Comedian Chelsea Handler (48) will host the ceremony. Series will also be honored. The nominated productions have been known since December 5. "The Morning Show" from streaming service Apple TV+ leads the field with six nominations.
