As the 2024 Critics Choice Awards approach, some of Hollywood’s best actors are preparing to take the stage and compete for one or more of the awards. Bradley Cooper, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Cillian Murphy are among the recently announced nominees for best actor, with performances that have won over millions of fans as well as critical acclaim.
The nominations for the 29th annual Critics Choice Awards, which will be held on January 14, 2024, were recently announced, cementing the top contenders in the awards race. Cinematic titans like Cooper (Maestro), DiCaprio (Killers of the Flower Moon), and Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) will be the main focus of the upcoming 2024 Critics Choice Awards. The majority of fans are rooting for Murphy and think that, despite their mastery of acting, Cooper and DiCaprio might miss out on winning the Critics Choice Awards the following year.
Fans Prediction: Bradley Cooper, Leonardo Dicaprio To Compete Hard at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards
The 29th annual Critics Choice Awards are scheduled to air on January 14. We learned from Vanity Fair that the ceremony, which will take place at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles and will go live on The CW, will be hosted by Chelsea Handler. There will be both TV and film categories, just like in previous years.
Leonardo DiCaprio (Killers of the Flower Moon), Colman Domingo (Rustin), Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers), Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer), Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction), and Bradley Cooper (Maestro) are the actors nominated for Best Actor.
Surprisingly, though, fans seem to be leaning toward the extremely talented Murphy as their dark horse contender to steal the show. The Dunkirk actor has definitely established himself in the minds and hearts of film enthusiasts. His distinguished roles in movies like Inception and Peaky Blinders have cemented his status as a gifted and captivating actor.
Thus, his supporters contend that it is high time he received the acknowledgment he so richly deserves, positioning him as a formidable candidate for the Critics Choice Awards (Best Actor).
Let’s see a few of his fans’ tweets:
