After sweeping the 81st Golden Globes, marking Hollywood’s star-studded kickoff to its annual awards season, Christopher Nolan’s epic biographical thriller ‘Oppenheimer’ continued to assert its dominance at the Critics’ Choice Awards 2024 as well, winning in several major categories.
While Nolan himself won the ‘Best Director’ award, ‘Oppenheimer’ was also named the ‘Best Picture’. The biographical thriller also secured awards for ‘Best Supporting Actor’, ‘Best Editing’, ‘Best Cinematography’, ‘Best Visual Effects’, ‘Best Score’ and ‘Best Acting Ensemble’.
Meanwhile, Greta Gerwig’s fantasy comedy ‘Barbie’, which had previously received limited recognition at the Golden Globes, found a more favourable reception at the awards ceremony. ‘Barbie’ was recognised as the ‘Best Comedy’ and also received the award for ‘Best Original Screenplay’.
