# 2nd Astra Creative Arts Awards

The 2nd Astra Film Creative Arts Awards, presented by the Hollywood Creative Alliance, were announced on January 6, 2024, to recognize technical achievements in films of 2023. The ceremony took place on February 26, 2024, at City Market Social House in Los Angeles, California.
Following the renaming of the awards organization from Hollywood Critics Association to Hollywood Creative Alliance, the org also gave its signature awards shows a new name: "The Astra Awards". This means the HCA Film Awards, HCA TV Awards, and HCA Creative Arts Awards have now become the Astra Film Awards, Astra TV Awards and Astra Creative Arts Awards, respectively; the name change was approved by the HCA's advisory committee on November 17, 2023.
The nominations for both the film awards and the film creative arts awards were announced live on December 7, 2023, on HCA's YouTube channel, by actresses Anjali Bhimani and Melora Hardin, who were joined by Hollywood Creative Alliance's Vice Chair Yong Chavez, Head of Member Engagement Jeandra LeBeauf and Secretary Morgan Rojas. Oppenheimer led the creative arts awards nominations with eight, followed by Poor Things with six. Barbie and Oppenheimer won the most awards with three wins apiece.
