Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster comedy “Barbie” scored 18 nominations to shatter the record and lead all films at the 29th annual Critics Choice Awards, which announced its film nominations on Wednesday morning. Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” received 13 nominations each, while Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” received 12 and Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro” and Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers” received eight each.

Those six films were joined in the Best Picture category by “American Fiction,” “The Color Purple,” “Past Lives” and “Saltburn.”  

Reinforcing the fact that the Critics Choice Association voters had a clear Top 6, the Best Director nominees were Gerwig, Nolan, Lanthimos, Scorsese, Cooper and Payne.
