‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Scores Best Comedy Nomination at Critics’ Choice Awards

On January 12, 2025, the 30th annual Critics’ Choice Awards will take place in Santa Monica, California, celebrating the top cinematic achievements of 2024. While not as high-profile as some other award shows, the Critics’ Choice Awards are highly respected and often provide clues about winners at future ceremonies.

Unlike other major awards, these recognize a wide range of genres, with specific categories for films like comedies and animated features. One of this year’s standout hits, Deadpool & Wolverine, has secured a nomination for Best Comedy, solidifying its place as a strong contender thanks to its significant impact and widespread acclaim.

The official nominations for all categories are being announced as we speak, and it’s confirmed that Deadpool & Wolverine has secured a major nomination:

As for the full list of nominees in the Best Comedy category, here they are:

• A Real Pain
• Deadpool & Wolverine
• Hit Man
• My Old Ass
• Saturday Night
• Thelma

All six nominated movies are fantastic, each offering a unique story and plenty of laughs. However, Deadpool & Wolverine stands out as a major contender, thanks to its massive impact and widespread popularity.

From our perspective, A Real Pain might pose the biggest challenge to Deadpool & Wolverine. Directed by Jesse Eisenberg, this dramedy has garnered critical acclaim, multiple nominations, and benefits from being a less commercial project—an advantage that often resonates with award voters.

The other nominees also bring strong competition. Hit Man and Thelma surprised critics with their humor, especially Thelma, which was a standout. Saturday Night carries historical significance, likely to appeal to voters, while My Old Ass, led by Aubrey Plaza, offers a fresh sci-fi comedy twist that sets it apart.

The winners will be revealed in January, so we’ll have to wait to see how things unfold. However, we believe Deadpool & Wolverine has a strong chance of taking the win, and we might just get a pleasant surprise when the results are announced.
