The nominations for both the film awards and the film creative arts awards were announced live on December 7, 2023, on HCA's YouTube channel, by actresses Anjali Bhimani and Melora Hardin, who were joined by Hollywood Creative Alliance's Vice Chair Yong Chavez, Head of Member Engagement Jeandra LeBeauf and Secretary Morgan Rojas.^[7] Oppenheimer led the creative arts awards nominations with eight, followed by Poor Things with six.^[8]^[9]^[10] Barbie and Oppenheimer won the most awards with three wins apiece.^[3]
