The People’s Choice Awards and the BAFTAs had completely different winners this year, showcasing the unpredictable nature of awards season.

Margot Robbie and Emma Stone Win Best Actress Awards

• Margot Robbie won Best Actress for “Barbie” at the PCAs in L.A.
• Emma Stone snagged the same honor for “Poor Things” at the UK’s BAFTAs.

Ryan Gosling and Cillian Murphy Triumph as Best Actors

• Ryan Gosling won Best Actor at the People’s Choice Awards.
• Cillian Murphy walked away with the prize for “Oppenheimer” at the BAFTAs.

Divergent Best Film Winners

For Best Film, “Oppenheimer” won at BAFTAs, while “Barbie” stole the show at the PCAs.

Directing Honors and the Dominance of “Barbie”

• Christopher Nolan’s directing for “Oppenheimer” earned him a trophy at the BAFTAs.
• If there was a directing category at the PCAs, it’s speculated that it would go to Greta Gerwig for “Barbie.”

“Barbie” dominated at the People’s Choice Awards, winning most of the awards it was nominated for. However, it faced disappointment at the BAFTAs, losing out on all five of its nominations and getting completely shut out.

The People’s Choice winners are chosen by everyday individuals, making it a popularity contest, while the BAFTAs winners are selected by academy members. Given the record-breaking numbers “Barbie” achieved last summer, its success at the PCAs comes as no surprise.
