Critics Choice Awards 2024: Who were the big winners during the annual gala?

The 29th annual Critics Choice Awards were held on Sunday, January 14, 2024, at Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport. The evening exuded glitz and glamour, with the elite of Hollywood walking the red carpet looking their absolute best.

Actor and comedian Chelsea Handler hosted the event, ensuring that she left no stone unturned to make the audience laugh. Notably, she did not forget to take a dig at Jo Koy's hosting at the Golden Globes, which did not sit well with most.

The Critics Choice Awards witnessed the re-emergence of Barbenheimer, where, alongside Oppenheimer's multiple nominations and wins, Greta Gerwig's Barbie also scored big at the awards. Barbie received the most nominations for the night, precisely 18. Among these, the cast and crew of the modern feminist movie took home six.

Oppenheimer, on the other hand, garnered 13 nominations across multiple categories, clinching eight awards (the most for the evening).

Other significant wins of the night included The Bear, Beef, Succession, and The Holdovers.
