The 29th annual Critics Choice Award Show, executive-produced by Bob Bain Productions and Berlin Entertainment, shifted to Santa Monica due to a labor dispute at its previous venue, the Los Angeles Fairmont Century Plaza. The show, organized by the Critics Choice Association, will honor the best in film and television. "Barbie" leads with 18 nominations, followed by "Oppenheimer" and "Poor Things" with 13 each. "Killers of the Flower Moon" boasts 12 nominations. In TV, "The Morning Show" dominates with six nominations, trailed by "Succession" with five. Other series like "Abbott Elementary," "The Bear," "Beef," "Lessons in Chemistry," "Loki," "Reservation Dogs," and "A Small Light" each have four nominations.
Besides Chelsea Handler, the show will feature a lineup of presenters, including Abigail Spencer, Angela Bassett, Anthony Ramos, Ashley McQuaid, Bella Ramsey, Brendan Fraser, Kla Guo, Daniel Levy, and more. A source close to WME staff reveals that Meghan Markle is furious, feeling sidelined while her "Suits" co-star advances in career opportunities. Abigail Spencer presented at the Critics Choice Awards, and four other "Suits" actors were presenters at the Golden Globes, events that Meghan wasn't invited to attend. The source suggests this is a consequence of Meghan's choice to leave her acting career for a lavish life in the royal family. WME is now silent, seemingly ignoring Meghan Markle, reflecting the British Royal Family's motto.
Simultaneously, an ex-Great Britain adviser to the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, Lee Cohen, claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced numerous failures and setbacks. Speaking on GB News, Cohen stated that their first failure was their inability to harm the monarchy and the royal family. Despite their tell-all interview with Oprah and a Netflix documentary, Americans, like Brits, are growing weary of their negativity, victimhood narratives, and family-trashing for monetary gain. The advisor emphasized that 2023 seems to continue their streak of setbacks, and Americans have lost interest in what the Sussexes are selling.
