We’re finally entering Awards season, and 2023 has become an exciting year for filmmaking in general. Not only some of the most acclaimed directors in the industry released new projects, like Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, or Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, but there have been some interesting directorial debuts, like Celine Song’s Past Lives.
In addition, it has also been a very memorable year for television. On one hand, some of the most acclaimed TV shows of the last years have come to an end, like Succession and Barry. Other popular shows returned with a new season, like The Bear, Yellowjackets, Ted Lasso and The Morning Show, among many others.
With 2023 about to finish and 2024 soon to start, Awards Season has kicked off and with it, nominations to some of the most awaited and prestigious ceremonies. Today, the Critics Choice Association (CCA) released the final list of nominations for the Critics Choice Awards, which will be held on January 14, 2024.
Last week, on December 5, the TV nominees were revealed, with The Morning Show leading the contenders with six nominations, and Succession closely following with five nominations. Now, the movie nominations have been announced and Barbie leads with an impressive total of 18 nominations. In second place are Oppenheimer and Poor Things, both tying with 13 nominations each.
