Lady Gaga, Rihanna & Taylor Swift Are 2023 Critics Choice Awards Nominees for Best Song: See the Full List of Nods

All five songs that were nominated for Golden Globes for best original song on Monday were nominated for Critics Choice Awards on Wednesday (Dec. 14). This means that three of the top female music stars on the planet – Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga – are vying for best song at both shows.

LCD Soundsystem’s “New Body Rhumba” from White Noise, which was passed over for a Globe nod, rounds out the nominees for best song at the Critics Choice Awards.

Four of the five scores that were nominated for Globes for best original score are also nominated here. The difference is that Carter Burwell’s Globe-nominated score for The Banshees of Inisherin was passed over for Critics Choice, with two scores that were not nominated at the Globes earning nods: Michael Giacchino’s The Batman and Hildur Guðnadóttir’s Tár.

Hildur has two nominations for Critics Choice best score. She is also nominated for Women Talking.

Alexandre Desplat is also a double nominee. He is nominated for best score for Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio and also best song for that film’s “Ciao Papa,” which he co-wrote with Roeban Katz and Guillermo del Toro.

Everything Everywhere All at Once is the most nominated film at the 28th annual Critics Choice Awards with 14 nods. At the Globes, it was the year’s second-most nominated film, behind The Banshees of Inisherin.

Everything… is followed at Critics Choice by The Fabelmans with 11 nods; Babylon and The Banshees of Inisherin with nine nods each; and Elvis and Tár with seven each.

“We are so proud to be recognizing this incredible group of films and the people who made them possible,” said Critics Choice Association CEO Joey Berlin. “This recognition comes from a diverse group of more than 600 critics and entertainment reporters who share their opinions about film and television with millions of people every day, all year long.”

There are 11 best picture nominees this year due to a tie. Additionally, the CCA expanded the best director category to include 10 nominees.

The winners will be revealed at the Critics Choice Awards gala hosted by Chelsea Handler, which will broadcast live on The CW from the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles on Sunday, Jan. 15, 2023, from 7 to 10 p.m. ET, delayed PT.

Actor Jeff Bridges will receive the Critics Choice Lifetime Achievement Award. Bob Bain Productions and Berlin Entertainment will executive produce this year’s show.
