# 29th Critics' Choice Awards

The 29th Critics' Choice Awards were presented on January 14, 2024, at the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport in Santa Monica, California, honoring the finest achievements of filmmaking and television programming in 2023. The ceremony was broadcast on The CW and hosted by Chelsea Handler, marking her second consecutive year hosting the ceremony.
Like in the previous three years, film and television nominations were announced separately. The television nominations were announced on December 5, 2023. The film nominations were announced on December 13, 2023.
The ceremony was originally due to take place at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel, the Critics Choice Awards' home base which the Critics Choice Association (CCA) helped re-open in 2022, but was later moved to Santa Monica's Barker Hangar, due to a labor dispute at the Fairmont Century Plaza.
Barbie led the film nominations with a record-breaking eighteen, followed by Oppenheimer and Poor Things with thirteen each. The Morning Show led the television nominations with six, followed by Succession with five. Additionally, the cultural phenomenon of "Barbenheimer" received a total of 31 nominations, winning fourteen: 8 for Oppenheimer and 6 for Barbie.
Overall, Warner Bros. received a total of 25 nominations for film, the most for any studio this year; HBO/Max received a total of 23 nominations for television, the most for any network this year.
