In a star-studded affair at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night, Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" emerged as the big winner, clinching a total of eight accolades, including the prestigious Best Picture award. 

The film's triumph also extended to Best Acting Ensemble and saw Robert Downey Jr honoured as the Best Supporting Actor in a Film.

The awards ceremony showcased a diverse array of winners, with "Barbie" securing recognition as the Best Comedy and taking home additional honours for Best Song ("I'm Just Ken") and Best Original Screenplay. "American Fiction" earned the accolade for Best Adapted Screenplay, adding to the evening's celebration of cinematic achievements.

On the television front, "Succession" claimed the Best Drama Series title, with Sarah Snook and Kieran Culkin earning acting awards for their notable performances. "The Bear" was named the Best Comedy Series, with Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach honoured for their contributions.

The limited series category saw "Beef" emerge victorious, taking home the award for Best Limited Series, in addition to three acting awards bestowed upon Ali Wong, Steven Yeun, and Maria Bello.

Chelsea Handler led the proceedings as the event's host, while notable figures like America Ferrera received the eighth annual SeeHer Award, and Harrison Ford was honoured with the prestigious Career Achievement Award.
