2024 Critics Choice Awards predictions: Our official odds in all 37 film and TV categories
The 29th Critics Choice Awards will be presented on Sunday, Jan. 14, celebrating achievements in both television and film in a host of above- and below-the-line categories. Scroll down for our official odds in all 37 film and TV categories with our projected winners highlighted in gold.
On the film side of the ceremony, “Barbie” enters the night with the most nominations of any film with 18 citations, the most of any film in the history of the Critics Choice Awards. Our predictions say it will come up a little shy of the lead in its number of wins, though, falling short to “Oppenheimer,” which has 13 nominations. Christopher Nolan‘s film will lead the night with seven victories, while Greta Gerwig‘s will net six awards. “Maestro,” “Poor Things” and “The Holdovers” will also win multiple prizes, with “Anatomy of a Fall” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” anticipated to round out the winners circle.
The television awards will be dominated by three series: “Succession,” “The Bear,” and “Beef.” Even though none of those series is the most-nominated of the year — that distinction goes to “The Morning Show” with six mentions — “Succession” will take home the most prizes with four victories. “The Bear” and “Beef,” meanwhile, will pick up three trophies apiece. Six other series or TV movies will win prizes, too, including acting awards for “Fellow Travelers,” “Jury Duty,” “Lessons in Chemistry,” “Only Murders in the Building” and “The Crown.” That means nominations leader “Morning Show” will go home empty-handed.
These official odds for the Critics Choice Awards are derived from the predictions of our Experts, Editors, Top 24 Users, All-Star Top 24 and all our Users, who make up the largest and often savviest bloc of predictors. See below for our complete official odds in all 37 film and television categories, and make or update your predictions by Jan. 14 before the ceremony begins.
