"Poor Things" tells the story of Bella, a young woman brought back to life as an experiment by a brilliant but unorthodox scientist.

"Bella is unique in all ways and the filmmaking is too," Stone told On the Red Carpet. "She had no shame, no self judgment, was totally open to all experiences, totally free and that it was important to tell that story in the way that we wanted to tell it."

"We are so excited to celebrate this year's remarkable projects, performances and the people who made it all possible at the 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards," CCA CEO Joey Berlin said in a statement. "This year saw an incredible number of blockbuster hits and beautiful stories brought to life in these exceptional films."

"Barbie" And "Oppenheimer" were among those blockbuster hits. "Barbie" leads with 18 nominations and "Oppenheimer" tied "Poor Things" with 13.

"All Of Us Strangers" earned a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.

"Elemental" and "Wish" got nominations for Best Animated Feature. "Wish" is also up for Best Song.
