Last week, the awards season heated up as nominations for the Golden Globe and Critics' Choice Awards were announced. Four films are clearly emerging as frontrunners – Greta Gerwig's "Barbie," Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer," Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon," and Yorgos Lanthimos' "Poor Things."

The top-grossing film of the year "Barbie" is leading the race, garnering nine Golden Globe nominations and a record-setting 18 Critics' Choice nods. "Oppenheimer" is close behind with eight and 13, respectively. Next in line are "Poor Things" and "Killers of the Flower Moon" with seven Golden Globe nominations each. "Poor Things" is also up for 13 Critics' Choice Awards, while "Killers of the Flower Moon" is vying for 12.

In television, "Succession" is the frontrunner among the Golden Globes with nine nominations, while "The Morning Show" leads the Critics' Choice race with six nods. Both awarding bodies also recognized FX's "The Bear," Hulu's "Only Murders in the Building," and Netflix's "The Crown" with multiple nominations. The only network television program to receive multiple nominations in either awards show is ABC's "Abbott Elementary," which is up for four Critics' Choice Awards and two Golden Globes.

In a rare occurrence, cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto will compete against himself for a Critics' Choice Award. The Oscar-nominated cinematographer had an extraordinarily successful year behind the camera with "Barbie" and "Killers of the Flower Moon."

Another individual earning multiple nominations is Emma Stone, who is up for Golden Globes in both film and television categories. She will compete in the race for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series - Drama for her performance on Showtime's "The Curse," and she is a favorite to win Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy for "Poor Things." She also earned a Critics' Choice Awards Best Actress nod for "Poor Things."

Alex Borstein also earned multiple nominations. She is up for two Critics' Choice Awards in the categories Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Prime Video's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and Best Comedy Special for "Alex Borstein: Corsets & Clown Suits" also on Prime Video.

At Broadway Stages, we are thrilled that the R-rated comedy "No Hard Feelings" is up for awards at both ceremonies, as the film includes scenes filmed at our facilities. Jennifer Lawrence will compete for a Golden Globe in the category Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, and the film is up for a Critics' Choice Award in the category Best Comedy.

The upcoming Golden Globe Awards ceremony will be the first after the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) disbanded earlier this year. All of the HFPA's rights and properties related to the Golden Globes have been acquired by Dick Clark Productions and Eldridge Industries. Another change to the ceremony is the addition of two new categories: Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television.
