Barbie's Critics Choice Awards Triumph
It seems like 2023 is Barbie's year! This sentiment is echoed in the nominations for the 29th Critics' Choice Awards, with Greta Gerwig's candy-colored comedy earning a whopping 18 nods. This new record beats last year's winner "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and "The Shape of Water," which had 14 nominations apiece. Joining Barbie in the elite group are Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" and Yorgos Lanthimos's "Poor Things," which each received 13 nominations. Adding to the celebrations, German actress Sandra Hüller also scored nominations for her captivating performances in "Anatomy of a Case."
Record-breaking Barbie
Margot Robbie, who portrays Barbie in the movie adaptation, was nominated for "Best Actress in a Leading Role." Her costars Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera also received nominations in the male and female supporting actor categories, respectively. Ariana Greenblatt could take home the "Best Young Actress" award, and the ensemble could snag an award as well.
Filmmaker Gerwig is up for "Best Director," as are she and her partner Noah Baumbach for "Best Original Screenplay." Boosting the excitement, "Barbie's" record-breaking 18 nominations mark a significant achievement in the competitive movie landscape.
