Barbie breaks Critics Choice Awards record with 18 nominations

Barbie has broken the all-time record for nominations at the Critics Choice Awards with 18.

Barbie has made history at the Critics Choice Awards by scoring the most nominations of all time.

Greta Gerwig’s movie, which is currently the highest-grossing film of 2023, has broken the all-time record for nominations at the Critics Choice Awards with 18.

It was nominated in categories including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress for Margot Robbie and Best Supporting Actor and Actress for Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera, respectively.

The impressive haul comes two days after Barbie topped the Golden Globe nominations with nine mentions.

The Barbie soundtrack dominates the Best Original Song shortlist for both the Globes and the CCAs thanks to Dua Lipa’s Dance the Night, Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For? and Gosling’s I’m Just Ken.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things followed behind Barbie with 13 CCA nominations each, including Best Picture.

American Fiction, The Color Purple, The Holdovers, Maestro, Past Lives, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Saltburn round out the Best Picture shortlist.
