Oppenheimer and Barbie dominate Critics Choice awards to gain Oscar momentum


Christopher Nolan’s drama continues its awards ascent with eight honours and Greta Gerwig’s pink fantasia is back in contention on six

Oppenheimer dominated the headline awards, winning best picture, best director for Christopher Nolan and best acting ensemble, with Robert Downey Jr also picking up best supporting actor for his role as Atomic Energy Commission member Lewis Strauss. The lead acting awards, however, produced something of a surprise, with Paul Giamatti defeating Oppenheimer’s Cillian Murphy for The Holdovers, and Poor Things’ Emma Stone beating Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone. Succession’s Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook replicated their Globes awards best actor and actress, as did The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, and Beef’s Steven Yeun and Ali Wong.
