Critics Choice Awards 2024

A list of the nominees

Is there any way to watch this without cable or Hulu? I mean some free way - some streaming website or something. Where my DL hackers at

It’s on the CW. All you need is an antenna…

Start a free trial and then cancel it after tonight. If you don’t have cable or an antenna to get the basic channels, do that.

I don't believe I've ever seen this awards show. Do all the nominees usually show up? I'll check it out, I can always watch Episode 1 of True Detective later.

R5 you were on the thread for this awards show last year. Please already

I love the awards season. It is really when Hollywood comes to life, and really when the stars shine bright!

Do you think Jo Koy will be watching his ex host tonight?

Jo Koy is upset at people not liking his jokes.

The critics choice awards are not that prestige and just try to predict the Oscar’s, but I’ll still watch because I have nothing better to do.

No thanks.

The Critics Choice have become a main awards show. Yes, the celebs show up for this one. It’s become one of the mainstream awards shows.

The celebs show up but deep down they have to know this show is a fake prestige show just trying to predict the Oscar’s. I remember Anne Hathaway dragged them for spelling her name wrong on the award lol

R6 I don't recall that at all, you just want to fight.

It’s become one of the big awards. Whether you like it or not. They wouldn’t show up otherwise.

R14 suit yourself

Half of their voters are vapid Oscar prognosticators, not real critics. People who just blather on about Oscars all year long and half their brains are filled up with ridiculous statistics like how many third children from Paraguay have won awards on their seventh nomination. Of course that's the state of "criticism" these days.

R17 their voters are only people who are a part of the Critics Association, and you have to be a broadcast, print, and/or digital journalist to be a part of it.

I can’t vote just because I review a film on my personal blog.

So you’re half right. Some of them do just go on and on about awards shows but they’re actually professional critics.

I'm ready for the fashion show.

The red carpet started. Ruffalo needs a haircut.

There should be an Awards Channel which also includes the red carpet. They can fill the rest of the time with vintage presentations.

Reese brought the daughter. Deacon must be at Dad's tonight.

Or she’s switching up between kids. I don’t think she shows favor

I love what Archie whatever his surname is wearing. Rosamund in blue looks amazing n

Broadcast Critics has lost its importance in the last few years. A lot of celebs don’t even attend it anymore.

R25 lmao. Why are you lying? All the stars are there

These bitches need sleeves.

The CC awards were positioning themselves to take over the mantle of the Golden Globes, should their multiple scandals have ended them. Now that the Globes survived and are A list again, the CC are definitely what above poster described as fake prestige, and don’t manage quite the turnout of the Globes, but a lot of celebrities show up, and consider it an important stop on the way to the Oscars.

Reese just said she has a part for Pedro.

R28 aren’t you bored repeating yourself?

R30 wtf are you talking about?

Tons of stars there.

I wonder why some actors are being shunted away from the interviewers, saw Brendan Fraser being led in a different direction, others as well.

La Cooper is bonding with Colman Domingo behind Margot Robbie

Matt Bomer wearing a retro 70s style blue suit

Cillian looks amazing

Tom Holland looking like a cute twink

RDJ looking very thin

Have Meryl and Martin Short arrived, or are they still having sex in their limo?

Margot Robbie finally dropped the pink

Angela Bassett

Bella Ramsey

Pedro

You can tell Angela hates her dress.

Matt Bomer desperately trying to look young and hot.

Ugh America Ferrera is getting the bullshit see her award.

Finneas and Billie

Sheryl Lee Ralph looks amazing.

La Cooper with glasses.

Matt Bomer is hot AF in that blue.

Billie is on drugs

Charles Melton and Ayo

Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple and Phil Dunster

Da’Vine Joy Randolph

Colman Domingo

Jeremy Allen White

I see she's covered her tits tonight.

Emma Stone

Brendan Fraser

La Cooper with Bomer

Ke Huy Quan

Greta Lee

Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall

Brie Larson

I guess Gladstone will win for her generic stoic Indian act.

Lily Gladstone

Emily Blunt looks radiant

R42 that looks like a Thom Browne pattern on that suit.

That clothing is hideously expensive and weirdly androgynous. But one in 30 pieces looks really cool.

R29 I have "a part" for him, too.

Jonathan Bailey

Taraji

Kieran Culkin and Matthew MacFayden. They skipped the red carpet (many did) and went straight inside.

Matt Bomer is still sexless.

Paul Giamatti with Blunt and her annoying hubby

I hope there's some halfway decent humor tonight.

Rachel Zegler

What do we think of Aniston’s pants gown?

Rosamund Pike

The whole group.

r43 How is Pedro going to take a piss without me there to help him unzip?

Fantasia

Ummm I thought Cooper was sober? They just showed him with a bottle of champagne in his hand

Gosling didn’t stop for pics. He skipped the red carpet. He was in all white.

Gosling and Ford chatting

The fashion has improved a little bit from the Golden Globe awards, but not much.

Oprah, AGAIN.

Does Steadman ever appear in public with Oprah? Are they still together?

Pedro always seems like a good sport.

Meg Ryan is there? Wow.

Bomer and Bailey really do look good together.

R25 funny. Look, there are tons of stars there. Even legends.

The Jo Koy dig. He’s gonna be pissed.

I think Chelsea's doing well.

R71 She thicc.

R93 Yes, not boring.

Harrison and Robert didn’t look amused lol

Well being called ancient is not a compliment

Da'vine's reined her breasts in a bit tonight. Comparatively, at least.

I admire Jodie Foster for not being afraid to show her real age. We need more like that.

Emily Blunt didn’t look happy to lose.

R99 She’s not the only one

R100 She's always a sourpuss.

RDJ’s sweep is boring

He knows how to give a speech tho

I'm 2 for 2, with Supporting.

Waiting for Cillian, Nolan, Gladstone, and "Oppenheimer."

Cute speech from Robert Downey Jr

Gosling looks good.

RDJr is always adorable!

Most of these people skipped the red carpet and went straight inside. Gosling didn’t even stop for pics.

Will Ferrell looks like he's in a constant state of irritation.

I liked him better when he was young, handsome and high.

Angela’s Oscar isn’t a real one.

^That's regarding RDJr.

Is Jonathan Bailey a racist? He kissed all the white people and pulled away from the black person

Jonathan Bailey didn’t deserve this award.

I like Maria Bello's outfit. Good for Jonathan Bailey.

I’ve always liked Maria Bello. I didn’t know she was in Beef.

The winners in the acting categories last year:

Best Actor: Brendan Fraser, The Whale

Best Actress: Cate Blanchett, TAR

Best Supporting Actor: Ke Huy Quan, Everything Everywhere All at Once

Best Supporting Actress: Angela Bassett, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

So they were 2/4 with the Oscars

Has Lily Gladstone shamed white people yet?

R119 give it a rest

FYI: "Oppenheimer" is being re-released to theaters in February.

R119, We do that by ourselves just fine.

I don't know why award shows did away with podiums, they used to have someplace to set their awards during their speeches.

This man for the CW show is gorgeous

Wow! Jonathan Bailey’s speech was so enthusiastic.

Didn’t know Leo was there. I think he needs to settle down soon because these young girlfriend jokes are ruining his reputation I think.

Is RDJ ill?

So glad to see Bailey win, hope this puts more attention on the show.

Is that Anniston next to Reese? Her face is fucked up.

Jennifer Aniston needed a bit longer to let the facial work settle.

R125 he arrived late. That’s why they didn’t show him during Her jokes about him.

This show moves right along with the awards like the others should.

A critic recorded RDJ winning.

DiCaprio doesn't want to piss off the critics, they may release some of the skeletons in his closet.

It also starts at 7 (4PT) instead of 8, which is smart.

Will there be an In Memoriam?

I love Jenny Slate, idc what people here say.

The less Chelsea appears the better.

When Anniston was on Friends her nose was smaller. Now it looks bigger. Maybe damage from coke?

Speaking of which, Brendan Fraser looks like he lost weight. He looks good, finally.

The lighting on the audience is very unflattering.

Idgaf about tv

Aniston’s nose was originally huge. She got a nose job because she was told she would never get work with her real nose

Meryl Streep? Whatever. At least it's not "Abbott Elementary."

The critics are always up Meryl’s ass

R141, Which is why she never had children.

Oh. David Duchovny? Woof. That’s a grandpa I would let destroy me.

Meryl was great on OMITB.

Gosling also had a nose job years ago. He was told if he ever wanted to be a leading man in Hollywood he would need a leading mans face, and his nose was not the nose of a leading man and lessened the rest of his face. So he got a nose job.

I haven't heard of most of the TV shows or movies in nomination. And I have cable!

(That's "Made For TV movies," I mean.)

I think it's strange Eva Mendes doesn't accompany her husband to any of these awards. She always talks about her privacy but no one cares about her.

R150 it’s because they don’t leave their kids with anyone else. Ryan has spoken of this.

I was rooting for Matt Bomer, he made me cry at the end of Fellow Travelers and that's rare for me.

Steven Yeun. Well deserved. So glad that 50 YO desperate to look 20 in a royal blue 70s style suit didn’t win.

STILL with the Asians.

R153 Meanie!

Ali Wong is getting Bill Hader's big bisexual dick.

There were blinds that Eva got knocked up by Ryan to lock him in. He wanted out. Supposedly she’s crazy jealous

R154 because it’s DESERVED.

Matt Bomer so deserved to win that award. His performance was brilliant. Tough competition, unfortunately.

I'd like to see Mark Ruffalo win an award sometime, someplace. He is a good actor.

Margot's hair looks like shit!

I like Margot

I’m sorry but that monologue was so corny

R161 at least she's not wearing pink. I think she's over it.

I think Ryan Gosling looks better because his face is no longer too thin.

R161 I like Margot a lot but disappointed with her hair tonight. The dress, however, is gorgeous.

America’s last attempt at an Oscar nomination. This See Her bullshit.

R160 he’s won awards.

America looks good

Selena Gomez lol

Who would call their child America?

God she’s insufferable.

R171 a common name for Latinos to name their first generation American child.

She just keeps going and going.

STFU ALREADY!

Ken had a bigger role in Barbie than Barbie lol

R176 that’s false.

I guess I'm gonna have to watch Barbie to understand why folks are out here acting like it's The Passion of Joan of Arc.

A three minute rant that spoke to every woman?

A new Liberty commercial! Sweeeet!

Limu used to have bigger parts in those commercials.

Give America the Wet Blanket Award for Most Self-Important Sourpuss/Scold.

An Oscar nomination for a barely-there performance and that poorly written monologue? No.

OMG, r178! Time for a "Martyr Barbie"!

Ariana DeBose didn’t like that comment.

THANK GOD BILLIE EILLISH LOST

This is the worst Best Song winner since Man or Muppet.

Even Ryan knows this is a dumb choice. But he’s looking very good tonight.

I have yet to watch Barbie, I think I'll have to get drunk first.

R187 I think he's the best looking man there tonight. So far at least

Billie's brother looked pissed.

And "Oppenheimer" will win the Oscar for "Cinematography," as well. From the Cosmos to the Microcosmos, this was a spectacularly beautiful movie.

Cousin Greg cleans up well

I'm not watching as I can't find it anywhere, but can someone get a screenshot of Miss Cooper losing to Cillian Murphy? Thanks!

R191 Outstanding work by Christoper Nolan.

R193 it’s free. CW is free.

Is she that good in The Bear or is this a diversity win?

R196 racist

R196 she deserved it. Shes great.

Did anyone catch the names of, or know, who presented best song? They both looked familiar to me but I can’t place them. TIA.

Weird how no one ever questions if Jeremy Allen White is actually good to be winning these awards but they are quick to question his costar winning…

I question him, r200!

Ryan Gosling looks especially handsome tonight. Margo Robbie is beautiful, but I hate that dress. Matt Bomer is extremely photogenic, he's gorgeous. I like what Emily Blount is wearing, and I always liked her UNTIL she talked about that woman's fat ass. I just love the ugly/ gorgeous/ oh so fuckable Jeremy Allen White.

R199 Bella Ramsey and Anthony Ramos

R200 because they want to fuck Jeremy

Greta finally wins and they don’t even present her award lol

Why is Jennifer Aniston’s nose so huge?

R204 no. Because he’s white so he must deserve these awards while his costar is black so it must be a diversity win.

Shes probably better on the show than he is.

Matthew Macfadyen was robbed. Billy Crudup? What is this, 2019?

Aniston had work done recently and it shows. Her face hasn’t settled yet. She looks swollen and bloated.

Jeremy Allen White is a known quantity who was on Shameless for almost a decade, R200.

This chick has come out of nowhere, so it's natural people are questioning her sweep.

Emily Blunt and her husband John Krasinski are unbearable.

"Oppenheimer," famously a non-musical= "Best Score." 🎶❗

R208 the Succession actors probably canceled each other out

Why does the picture look so crappy?

Can the CW not afford to broadcast in high-def?

R210 her sweep is for the shows second season. We’ve been familiar with her for over a year by now if you watch the show.

R206, She’s wearing Bradley Cooper’s prosthetic.

Thank you, R203.

R214 what are you talking about? Mine looks good

Jennifer A. has always had a big nose, it's called a great makeup artist darlings!

“The chick” is great on The Bear. It’s a real breakout performance.

Oh, thank God it's not Barbie!

Emily Blunt snatched the award and ran to the mic. They didn’t ask you to speak. You insisted.

R211, He's one of those actors we are gaslighted into regarding as handsome, when he's actually goofy-looking.

AND "OPPENHEIMER" WINS ANOTHER ONE! ENSEMBLE!

Eh Cillian is the only one who stood out to me in Oppenheimer

Meg Ryan's son was in Oppenheimer, is he not there?

See? Unbearable.

Emily had a thankless suffering wife role in Oppenheimer

R224, That's sad.

“We couldn’t get Steven Spielberg to present this award, so we got James Mangold!"

R224 you didn’t watch it then.

Everyone in the world knows who Harrison Ford is.

R227 suffering? You didn’t watch it.

Harrison is looking a little Bill Nighy.

He’s 81. Leave him be.

Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt did not get along.

He’s looking a little Donald Dump. Yikes, not aging well.

Did Calista find the fountain of youth? She looks amazing.

He’s 81 FFS.

I don’t think Harrison liked Chelsea’s jokes

R234, No judgment! I love him!

Virility fades with age. Let that be a lesson to ya!

He seemed genuinely grateful. Very gracious.

Harrison didn't get along with Karen Allen, either. You'd never know it by watching Raiders of the Lost Ark, good acting on both their sides.

He’s adorable

I keep hoping that Bella Ramsay will win, she impressed me the most.

Sarah Snook looks a lot better tonight.

Sarah looks great tonight.

Nice speech by Sarah.

Pedro, your day will come along with Bella.

How does his brother feel about Kieran’s success? Is he supportive of jealous? I don’t keep up with him

I think Keiran has a bit of genius within him.

The same winners as the Golden Globes

R249 says “Pedro, your day will come along with Bella.”

Also R249 upthread in regard to Ayo Edibiri

“Jeremy Allen White is a known quantity who was on Shameless for almost a decade, [R200].

This chick has come out of nowhere, so it's natural people are questioning her sweep.”

Funny he doesn’t have the same sentiment for Ramsey.

R252 because they’re deserved.

Not all the winners have been the same.

So I guess Lily Gladstone, Cillian Murphy, Christopher Nolan and Oppenheimer winning the final big four.

Emily Blunt seems to think that she is Hollywood royalty now. Insufferable woman.

I prefer when there are races in the acting categories

Well races don’t always happen because a lot of voters like the same performances.

I agree with Oppenheimer to win Best Special Effects. They were impressive.

I am rather upset about Matt Bomer not winning. At least he is the best looking man there.

I’m so sick of the tv awards

Bomer is far from the best looking man

For me, Succession and The Last of Us are equally excellent. Completely different but both superb.

R259, Agreed! How to describe the crazy visions in Oppie's mind's-eye!

A Small Light was the best limited series.

R265 to you.

No love for Fellow Travelers. Boo, hiss.

Jonathan Bailey literally won earlier.

I find "Beef" to be an execrable title.

I don't see what the fuss is over Pedro Pascal. He looks like he's never been taught how to properly bathe.

Aw, Beef again. Fellow Travelers should have won this one. It was such a compelling story of the political and emotional struggles caused by McCarthy’s Lavender Scare. It deserves attention so I hope a lot more people will watch it.

He’s Cuban, isn’t he? Swarthy he is. Not dirty. Racist fuck r270

However, his looks aren’t really all that and his acting is fine.

R271 the people who watched it are who were gonna watch it. Youre thinking the average person is gonna watch those gay sex scenes. They aren’t. If the show didn’t have that it would do better and that’s not an opinion.

I can’t take the way Fraser speaks.

UPSET!!

Now we have a race

THRILLED LILY LOST. OMG. ALL SHE DID WAS LAY IN BED SICK HALF THE MOVIE

I still think Lily will win the Oscar

Emma Stone is one of a kind actress. She does weird the best.

Gold Derby predicted Emma Stone.

Now we shall see if it predicted correctly with "Best Actor":

Bradley Cooper. ❓

Lily will probably win the Oscar so they can have their first Native American Best Actress winner

I doubt Cooper is winning.

Plus Emma already won an Oscar. Although in hindsight her win for La La Land felt unnecessary

I’m tired of the “Emma already won”. Your point? Some actors have 3 and 4 Oscars. It’s about the best. Not how many you have.

R272 I'm not racist, I'm Puerto Rican, Cabron!

Oppenheimer will take the last 3 I’m pretty sure

WTF is Greta Gerwig wearing?

I want to see a remake of the Bride of Frankenstein with Emma Stone. She would be perfect.

Why did Handler call them on stage?

R287 Her comforter from her bed. She's lost the will to live.

R289 because they deserve to give a speech for their groundbreaking win

WOW. Paul won. Shocked but thrilled. He was amazing.

O.

M.

G.

I sit utterly flabbergasted, and I've seen both Paul's movie and "Oppenheimer."

nosher race on our hands

It's going to be Murphy vs Giamatti at the oscars.

Another*

I watched The Holdovers last night. Giamatti deserves it.

"Another"?

R295 I said this last week. You guys keep bringing Cooper up but he’s not in the race. It’s Paul vs Cillian.

R297, Have you seen "Oppenheimer"?

I prefer Cillian Murphy, I felt he really got the character. Not showy about it, either.

It’ll probably be Giamatti who wins the Oscar. Murphy is too pretty for the academy voters

They both deserve it. I prefer Cillian wins the Oscar but I’m ok with Paul winning. Cooper shouldn’t even be nominated.

As if Blunt wasn't bad enough, now we have to suffer through her spouse Kraskinski.

Giamatti is the actor's actor so he can definitely win at SAG and from there he can go all the way to the Oscars. Giamatti's work is vastly superior to both Murphy's and Cooper's.

R294, This seems like 2023 re-dux:

GG, Butler; CC, Fraser; BAFTA, Butler; SAG, Fraser ---> Oscar, Fraser.

As far as I'm concerned, Cooper shouldn't even be in the running. There's always been something about Giamatti that has turned me off so I will continue to root for Murphy.

R305, Seriously? Tell us your favorite scene from "The Holdovers," because I don't believe you've seen it.

Giamatti was good but the same as he is in everything.

Fraser was the favorite to win last year.

John Krasinski. Why??

The Golden Globes were just a week ago. Couldn't they have scheduled this at least two weeks apart? This is an awful lot of self-congratulatory bullshit week after week.

[quote]Have you seen "Oppenheimer"?

Yes. Cillian is very good and I can see hm winning the Oscar but I preferred Giamatti’s performance.

In a movie titled "Oppenheimer," the "Best Director" should have been able to direct his lead into the "Best Actor" position.

R312. And the Emmys air tomorrow...

The 2024 Emmy Awards will be held Monday, January 15 at 8:00 p.m. ET (5:00 p.m. PT) at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California. What channel are the Emmy Awards on in 2024? The 75th Annual Emmy Awards will air on Fox, while the pre-show red carpet coverage will air on E! starting at 6:00 p.m. ET (3:00 p.m. PT).

R314 ummmm please. Just stop. We’ve had directors win and their film doesn’t win Best Picture. That is what matters. Not the actors winning.

R310, Not until those awards were given out.

Christopher Nolan. Love him as a director.

R312 yes but that’s strictly television

Dish Nation looks like a fun show. I might check it out.

The Holdovers reminds me of the kind of art house film whose loss is being bemoaned in another thread. I can imagine it screening at the long-shuttered independent cinema where I saw so many wonderful films in the 90s.

R316, ""Stop"? STOP?! STFU.

Oppenheimer is obviously the best picture of the year. There's no question about it.

The Holdovers is a phenomenal movie. I LOVED it and didn’t expect to.

And The Holdovers reminds me of a TV movie of the week that would aired on ABC in 1978.

My predictions…

SAG: Gladstone/Giamatti

BAFTA: Stone or Fuller/Murphy

Oscar: Gladstone/Giamatti

Alden looks hammered.

These award shows are always so boring and predictable

You just know that every time Emily Blunt's face appeared onscreen in Oppenheimer, the Audience Enthusiasm Meter went way down.

Bradley Cooper was never in the race. I knew the "Maestro" campaign would get a lot of backlash (I mean, "Bradley Cooper is the heir to Sidney Pollock"?! Bffr). I'm convinced they keep nominating him just to watch him lose over and over.

I'm disappointed that Cillian Murphy didn't win Best Actor. He really connected me with the mind of J Robert Oppenheimer. When he saw for the first time what he invented, Murphy made the misgivings of that realization come to life.

We will see what happens at SAG. That gives a better picture of who will win the Oscar. The Globes and Critics can go different routes and BAFTA does its own thing all the time.

"Maestro"s already starting up with the SAG campaign! Lol.

[quote]Bradley Cooper was never in the race.

R330=TAR

Cooper wasn’t in the race r334. I’ve said this too. It was obvious he wasn’t winning. He’s 3rd in the list, same position he was in with A Star Is Born and you all kept trying to hype him up then too when it was obvious the race was between Rami and Christian Bale. Cooper was 3rd.

I'm glad that Harrison Ford was honored, he's ok by me.

The supporting categories are locked. The lead categories are more up in the air which is exciting. Unless a backlash develops, Oppenheimer is pretty safe for Best Picture. Nolan is the biggest lock of the night. Whatever happens I just hope Barbie underperforms and that its only acting nomination is for Gosling.

R337, Margot was wonderful in Barbie, which was an interesting but flawed experiment.

Some people think after tonight Ferrera is a lock

Gosling is smug but I am glad Billie didn't win

Hahaha Andrew Scott snubbed for a nomination here too. That overrated performance was laughably hammy.

Annette Bening should have been nominated as Best Actress for "Nyad."

What's wrong with these critics?

R339: They're really pushing her. You'd think at every event it would Greta, Margot, and Ryan but it seems like everywhere it's Greta, Margot, and America. Nomination voting ends on Tuesday so she definitely needed to make an impression. She got shut out at both Globes and SAG. Honestly, please don't do this Oscars. There are other performances more deserving than this three minute rant.

Downey Jr and Gosling are both so fucking smug. Don't know what anybody sees in them.

R313, It was a pleasant performance. It didn't make us question anything, let alone our personal values and attitudes towards the movie's subject.

"The Holdovers" is an unqualified "feel-good" movie, but nothing we haven't seen before---except for the final 15 minutes. And we don't even see a mental struggle within Giamatti's character.

Cillian portrays Oppenheimer as complex, self-centered, brilliant, bedeviled, obstinate, awkward, situationally loyal, demanding, humiliated, weak, and ultimately rueful. He must interact with many others, from his women to fellow scientists to politicians to boisterous crowds. He must react to a lover's suicide (possible murder). He must face himself. No cathartic "good" ending. Tough on Oppenheimer; tough on us.

Paul's teacher is a brilliant Sad Sack kind of guy. Hum-drum life of Classics in the original, teaching bored and reluctant rich boys. No social life. He, Paul, must convey annoyance, the tiny tyranny of the put-upon teacher, the impulse to crack wise about the students' work, and the delight in a break from the school setting and "rebellion" against the rules. And we feel good at the end. Not happy, but good.

Both actors are excellent. I just think that Cillian had to, and did, dig deeper into the mind and soul of the man who changed modern history than Paul did as a mentor of one promising student.

R339, if Ferrara couldn't get a nomination at SAG, which doesn't have ranked-choice voting and favors very populist contenders, no Critics Choice speech is going to save her.

I'm very pleased that the Best Actor race has come down to Cillian Murphy and Paul Giamatti. That category has made some pretty bad picks over the past few years, but it looks like the race is between two talented, hard-working actors giving excellent performances without the cheap trickery that so often wins Oscars. Both Murphy and Giamatti would be excellent winners.

I actually like RDJ. He seems funny and in on the joke about himself. Gosling is a snob and smug. He’s definitely feeling himself a little too much lately.

The critic who was there sitting by the Oppenheimer table kept snapping vids and pics all night. He shared a pic of Chris Nolan getting out of his seat and walking over to Murphy to chat with him after he lost Best Actor. I wonder what he said.

R345 thinks only “complex” and “challenging” characters should be nominated.

No.

Supporting seems to be:

Danielle Brooks

DaVine Joy Randolph

Emily Blunt

With the last two slots going to:

Jodie Foster

America Ferrera

Julianne Moore

Rosamund Pike

Penelope Cruz

Rachel McAdams

Taraji P Hensen

Sandra Huller (zone of interest)

So I think it could either way for nominations

Harrison Ford should get a Lifetime Achievement Award.from GLAAD for turning so many men of my generation gay.

R324, Mostly thanks to Dominic Sessa.

I don’t think Danielle Brooks is a lock at all. I can see The Color Purple being shut out.

RDJ's "smugness" has always seemed a conscious schtick laid out over very deep waters. He's not actually smug - he just plays up that part of his persona.

Ryan just seems smug.

R351 no. I loved all of them. They had amazing chemistry and worked well off each other. Sessa was great but Giamatti was amazing and Randolph was wonderful.

R347: Gosling hasn't had a hit in ages and probably thinks the movie's success was due mostly to him, and that all his future projects will be hits as well. He's so far up his own ass.

Am I the only one who doesn't find Gosling appealing? He's like a white bread frat boy, with thin lips and beady eyes.

Who won Best Featured: America or DaVine?

Ryan seems like fun. Remember when they were all up on the Oscar stage when La-La Land "won." He wasn't even trying to control his amusement at what was going on. RDJ seems like he'd get really tiresome to be around.

R357, Da'Vine won Best Supporting Actress. America was given the bullshit SeeHer award that the Critics Choice usually bestows to also-rans in the Oscar race, like Janelle Monae last year.

Viola won this see her bullshit too I think. Yeah we see you and you're still not a sexualized woman.

Emily Blunt should not be nominated. Talk about riding the coattails of others.

I am glad Paul and Emma won just to mix it up. Maybe people are sick of the Lily guilt. Agree that SAG will be a big indicator of who may win.

The Stone win was huge. A totally radical, outrageous role few actresses would dare to play. Gladstone is still in the race, but I really want Emma to win. Even Gladstone knows Stone should win another Oscar with that performance, judging from her reaction to her win, not to mention the other nominees. Giamatti was another big win. He was robbed of a nomination for Sideways and really deserves an Oscar. Best character actor in the business.

Is there a See Him Award?

Gosling used to come off fun but ever since he’s come back from his 3/4 year break he’s been so far up his own ass. It’s insane. Like when Simu Liu put his hand on Gosling’s back and Gosling got mad because of how it looked etc. tonight he wouldn’t even stop for pics or do interviews. He’s become full of himself.

R363 no it’s only for women

The Emmy Awards are tomorrow night.

Either Giamatti or Murphy winning would be fine with me. I’m glad the two frontrunners are actually great choices this year. Last year too although I preferred Colin to Butler and Fraser. Mescal was my pick though. His performance was beautifully heartbreaking.

Gladstone was the best thing about that movie but still not as good as Stone.

I’m gonna skip the SAG’s.

I feel so cool as the only winner not to attend. I'm so above it all. I should have sent Mamie like Brando did.

I wonder if Meryl didn’t go because Martin Short wasn’t going because they snubbed him this year.

R345 There were layers to Giamatti’s performance though. Like when he runs into his old classmate or learns the woman he pines for is involved with someone.

Are M and Short really dating? Have there been photos of them entering the Golden Globes together? (or is this just based on the fact that they sat next to each other?)

Gosling is up his ass because Barbie made a billion dollars.

Bottom line: that's what counts in H💰LLYW💰💰D

Yeah but it didn’t make a billion because of him, which he seems to think.

R362, just prepare yourself, because this year's Oscar race for Best Actress might repeat last year's. Everyone knows who gave the superior performance, but the actress who did already has an Oscar and her main competitor has a better feel-good narrative.

Thankfully nothing this year will compare to the shameless litany of sob stories that last year's acting winners employed to win Oscars.

To whom are you referring r375.

R348, Thanks for reading. I'm just saying that IMO CM did more with his character than PG, etc.

What would you posit as "Best Actor" requisites?

Oh. Lily’s speeches have been just as bad as Michelle Yeoh’s.

I'm rooting for Emma Stone because she's fascinating.

Where are all of you getting that Ryan is smug? Did he say something off in an interview? I like his role choices, they're a good mix.

I'd take a hundred of him over those two desperados, Cooper and DiCaprio. Cooper is so trite in his desperation. ASIB and Bernstein? He's the basic bitch of Hollywood. And DiCaprio is greedy. His peers finally gave him his pity Oscar for Revenant - a film no one will ever watch again - and he immediately comes back with another boring award-baity film. They are both boring and need to branch out.

If Emma Stone wins the Oscar, will she be the first Oscar winner to have stuck an apple in her pussy on film?

R378, Lily hasn't threatened to beat up anyone yet during an acceptance speech, so she's still better than Yeoh in that regard.

R381, you must be forgetting Marie Dressler in Min and Bill.

On film? Yes.

Wait do you mean on film in general or in a movie?

Jonathan Bailey's speech was one for the ages. He has more star-quality than anyone else in the room. He's an Old Hollywood type star, like Cary Grant and Clark Gable.

Pedro is Chilean.

R381 Love her!

R45 You can just say he looks young and hot you know

I don't know about young, but he is ridiculously beautiful. Everyone else looks ordinary in comparison.

Can we start a Frances Fisher - like campaign so Hollywood kiss-ass, fat phobic Emily Blunt continues her streak of zero Oscar nominations ?

• Ferrera, like her or not, is at least humble and likable. Her speech tonight was widely seen by Oscar voters. I think she makes slot 5. If voters decide to hedge a Huller snub in Best Actress, she could show up here in slot 5 for ‘Zone of Interest’. There are more international voters in the Oscar pool and they might want to recognize ‘Zone’ outside of Film and Director.

• Randolph is a lock.

• Foster is the Oscar comeback story of the year for finally having the guts to play a butch lesbian.

• Brooks appears hammy as hell in the The Color Purple trailer. I haven’t seen it, but apparently audiences were enthralled by her at a SAG screening.

• Passion pick of the year: Penélope Cruz for Ferrari. Everyone says she steals the movie and this is the one performance that screams Oscar win. She won’t, but I think she gets a nomination.

That leaves Blunt OUT. Remember, Oscar nominations are largely determined by #1 votes by Academy members. Who the hell would put Blunt at #1? Nolan can’t write female characters and Blunt is a one-note actress with a Botox-ed face. She might be #3 or #4 picks. She’s not a #1 pick. All of the above actresses have higher likelihood of being a #1 pick. Ferrera, undeservedly, but she’s now a sentimental favorite after her Critics Choice speech.

r37 He is mid to advanced stage twink death though, I'd recommend pumping out Spider-Man movies and marriage to Zendaya (or Harrison Osterfield) in the next few years before its too late.

Sorry, R389, but Emily Blunt is in the front-runner for Best Picture, and she's been repeatedly snubbed for Oscars because she was never in the right movie to earn her Oscar attention. Despite her limited screen time she still has a good Oscar clip, and except for Randolph every single actress has a far weaker case for a nomination. No one is challenging Randolph, but even a distant second place is still assured a nomination, and that's where Blunt seems situated.

There are always nominees in the supporting categories who get in primarily because of the strength of their films (Octavia Spencer in The Shape of Water, Alan Arkin in Argo, Helena Bonham Carter in The King's Speech) that you wouldn't expect to earn a ton of #1 votes. Blunt has a better case than most of them.

I finally saw Killers of the Flower Moon, and while she was fine, I was decidedly NOT blown away by Lily Gladstone’s performance. Bening really deserves it this year, but I’m not even sure she will get an Oscar nod at this point.

I feel the same way about Randolph in The Holdovers. It was an adequate performance, but nothing made me go WOW. I also don’t get Blunt being a “lock”. Rosamund, Jodie, and Julianne deserve slots. Brooks was fine in TCP, but Taraji was the best, to me, and I don’t think she’s gotten any nominations.

everyone looked better today than the Globes

I can't get over how beautiful Matt Bomer is. Somehow I always forget.

I don’t find Bomer all that beautiful

Oscars and SAG: Annette Bening for win for 'Nyad.'

She's outstanding and long overdue.

Emily Blunt will get a nomination. America F doesn’t deserve one. Unless they feel a Hispanic deserves one and then it’s purely political. Jody Foster would be a better choice. Randolph was excellent and is the clear Oscar winner. Haven’t see TCP or Penelope Cruz.

I think Ryan Gosling deserves one for Barbie but I’m sure he won’t get it.

Jodie..

R394 And you never miss an opportunity to tell us that!

The Emmy Awards are tonight.

R88:

There was a moment when Jennifer Aniston and Reese were being interviewed and Pedro walked past. Whomever was doing the interview immediately tried to get Pedro to join the conversation, but he was trying to be good sport and not interrupt their interview. Jennifer and Reese quickly brough up the idea of his guest starring on the 3rd season of the Morning Show. It was a cute moment with Pedro nicely saying, 'get in touch with my agent' as he walked away.

R272

Pedro is Chilean.

Poor Jennifer. She was beaten in the face with a pillow case full of oranges.

Apparently the Emmys will be available on demand on Hulu sometime tomorrow, but are the Critics Choice Awards online anywhere for those of us who didn't watch those live?

R398 right? methinks the lady doth protest too much

[quote]Is there a See Him Award?

[quote][R363] no it’s only for women

Why only for women?

I just love how posters like R374 now claim to know what Gosling thinks. Okay you don't like him but come on, you don't have a clue what he is thinking.

There isn’t a family member Gosling and Mendes could leave their kids with for a few hours so they could attend events together?

Ryan is a control freak and doesn’t want Eva to pull any attention away from him at events.

I think they're both helicopter parents.

Critics Choice really didn't tell us much. Oppenheimer + Nolan are still out front, the supporting acting races are still locked, and the lead acting categories are still up in the air.

R410 good. We don’t need it to tell us much. It’s only the second awards show of the season.

Jennifer Aniston looks terrible. Cat Lady. Her plastic surgery is terrible. She makes Meg Ryan look good.

I need to know who "Mohawk Lady" is!!! She sounds like a trash legend

Worst dressed.

[quote]And The Holdovers reminds me of a TV movie of the week that would aired on ABC in 1978.

That's exactly what it is, although a 1978 TV movie would have had a better script and pacing.

R272 He’s Chilean.

Meg and her trout pout and zany eyes.

She's not cute.

Meg Ryan would look a lot better if she didn't smile anymore.

The scrunched up face was cute and adorable in her twenties and thirties, because she had the advantage of youth on her side.

But now when she smiles, she looks scary and evil.

Joker face with demonic Chucky eyes, r418.

Even the tilt of her head...she's trying to claw back her cute status.

Sad.

R403 download the CW app on your device or television. If you have an Apple TV or Roku the app is available to download. I’m sure on most smart TVs also. You can stream it there.

Just search “Critics Choice” and it will pop up.

Maybe Meg Ryan was never really that cute.
