    29th Critics Choice Nominations

    While it’s tempting to call these the Barbenheimer awards, It’s really the Barbie-plus awards.

    27th Las Vegas Critics Nominations

    Las Vegas’ critics aren’t very good at getting the word out (or updating their website). Here are the nominees for the Las Vegas critics’ awards, presumably announced on the 8th based on the sole article I found covering it.
