Barbie’s Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig accepted Best Comedy after host Chelsea Handler demanded on-air moment at the Critics Choice Awards while Paul Giamatti landed a shock win over Cillian Murphy on a night where Emma Stone, Oppenheimer, and Succession all triumphed.

Blockbuster film Barbie – which earned $1.4billion in the worldwide box office last year – won the top comedy honor when it comes to comedy films but it was not scheduled to appear on the broadcast and instead was announced during a vignette before breaking off into commercial.

Chelsea, 48, did not stand for the film not being recognized during the televised portion as she went rogue after a return from break at the event held at The Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California which featured a star-studded red carpet.

The host announced: ‘Earlier tonight Barbie was awarded best comedy. I’ll go rogue because Greta and Margot deserve to make a speech. Would you mind coming up and accepting the award for Best Comedy.’

Margot, 33, and 40-year-old filmmaker Greta quickly got up and walked up to the stage to accept the crowning achievement with impromptu speeches at the event which honors the finest achievements in both filmmaking and television programming over the year of 2023.

The Wolf Of Wall Street actress said: ‘Thank you. Thank you, Chelsea. We love you so much. You know, when everyone is like oh, this is so unexpected. This is actually unexpected and not apart of the show. We are very grateful and I’d like Greta to talk.’

The film beat out American Fiction, Bottoms, The Holdovers, No Hard Feelings, and Poor Things.

Greta later took to the mic to give a heartfelt speech as the filmmaker said: ‘Thank you for letting this happen. We were excited in our chairs and nice to be up here. Thank you to everyone that helped make the movie. I laughed during most takes. Because of our beautiful cast Margot and Ryan and America. 

‘Thank you to Mattel for letting us take their beloved icon and make something so unhinged. Thank you to Warner brother’s for standing behind us every step of the way and thank you to to Noah because we wanted to make everyone laugh and we made the world laugh too.’

The synopsis of the film was: ‘Barbie and Ken are having the time of their lives in the colorful and seemingly perfect world of Barbie Land. However, when they get a chance to go to the real world, they soon discover the joys and perils of living among humans.’ 

Perhaps the most shocking moment of the night came when Paul Giamatti beat out favorite Cillian Murphy in the Best Actor category.

Paul, 56, was up for the award for The Holdovers while Cillian, 47, was nominated for blockbuster Oppenheimer as they were up against Bradley Cooper – Maestro, Leonardo DiCaprio – Killers of the Flower Moon, Colman Domingo – Rustin, and Jeffrey Wright – American Fiction.

The veteran actor began his acceptance speech by poking fun at the viral moment last week of him eating at California fast food joint In-N-Out with his Golden Globe award in full tuxedo.

Meanwhile Emma Stone was also one of the biggest winners of the night as she earned Best Actress for Poor Things.

The 35-year-old actress – who also triumphed at the Golden Globe Awards last week – was in disbelief as she won over a very stacked category which included the likes of Lily Gladstone – Killers Of The Flower Moon, Sandra Hüller – Anatomy of a Fall, Greta Lee – Past Lives, Carey Mulligan – Maestro, Margot Robbie – Barbie.

She recognized each of her competitors individually during the beginning of her acceptance speech as she said: ‘Um, I’ll be honest. I’m in full blown I didn’t have anything that I was going to say because this is completely crazy. This category is ridiculous. Lily, I mean, come on. Margot. What in the Carey. Okay. Greta and Sandra Huller. This doesn’t make any sense. 

‘Thank you so much for this. It means to such. I was being serious. I don’t know what to say. This table here is poor things table. This crew, this cast, mark, Chris, Katherine hunter, Hannah. There are so many unbelievable people I was lucky enough to work with and searchlight and Ed and Tony. That’s how we are supposed to say it to a Greek man if we are speaking to them. I love you. Thank you for everything. This is, uh, really wild.’

In Poor Things she portrays Bella Baxter/Victoria Blessington who is a woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist, Dr. Godwin Baxter (played by Willem Dafoe).

Producer Emma Thomas addressed the audience as her acceptance speech began:  ‘Thank you. Thank you very much for to the critics choice association. Come on. Come on. Thank you very much. Our films usually start pretty small. It’s kind of a family business. Oftentimes it’s cone conversations around the table with our kids. There are four of them so I wouldn’t name them all. 

‘We bring people on and it expands to our casting director. He’s the architect of this incredible group and it’s bigger and bigger and then we are here with our film family. Some of the people we worked on the film are people we worked with before. These are new friends and family and I couldn’t be more grateful for the work. 

‘Knowing all of these brilliant people, again, I wouldn’t name them. I’ll forget somebody and everybody needs to be recognized here. Of course, Universal, thank you so much. There is a magician sitting over there Michael Moses, who somehow managed to create the worldwide phenomenon this film became. We are gracious to you and your team. Sometimes we love what you say and sometimes we don’t. It means a great deal to us so thank you.’

Oppenheimer is the story of American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the development of the atomic bomb.
