2024 Critics Choice Awards Winners

Critics Choice Association best picture nominees.

Preview:

The 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards were handed out Sunday evening.
‘Oppenheimer’, ‘Barbie’ and ‘The Holdovers’ took home multiple trophies.
‘Succession’, ‘Beef’ and ‘The Bear’ also did well.

Awards season continued on Sunday evening with the trophies handed out by the Critics Choice Association at Santa Monica Airport’s Barker Hanger on Sunday night.

There were, it must be admitted, few surprises –– ‘Oppenheimer’, ‘Barbie’ and ‘The Holdovers’ continued their cinematic award dominance, while on the small screen front, creative teams from ‘Succession’, ‘The Bear’ and ‘Beef’ found themselves on the stage making speeches.

Emma Stone won for ‘Poor Things’, while Robert Downey Jr. lifted another award for his role in ‘Oppenheimer’ and gave a funny speech referencing negative reviews he’s been given through the years.

It was somewhat disappointing to see certain categories reduced to mentions on cards before and after commercial breaks –– you can’t imagine the winners of the Screenplay and Score categories were thrilled to be consigned to a brief mention. Host Chelsea Handler (who included a dig at Golden Globes host Jo Koy in her funny opening monologue) even went rogue –– or at least as rogue as the show’s producers would allow –– and brought Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig to up to accept Best Comedy, which had been another of the card categories.

Here are the winners…
