Congratulations to all the exceptional 29th Critics Choice Awards winners!
“Oppenheimer” dominated the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, securing eight victories, including best picture, best director (Christopher Nolan), and best supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.). “Barbie” trailed closely with six wins, including best comedy and best song (“I’m Just Ken”).
The awards ceremony brought surprises in the film category, with Emma Stone winning best actress for “Poor Things” and Paul Giamatti taking home the best actor award for “The Holdovers.”
On the television front, “The Bear,” “Succession,” and “Beef” claimed multiple acting awards and top honors for comedy series, drama series, and limited series, respectively.
Chelsea Handler hosted the live broadcast on CW from Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar, where Harrison Ford received the career achievement award, and America Ferrera was honored with the SeeHer Award.
JamarGig would also like to recognize the casting and production teams that made these amazing shows come to life!
