Barbie's Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig accepted Best Comedy after host Chelsea Handler demanded on-air moment at the Critics Choice Awards while Paul Giamatti landed a shock win over Cillian Murphy on a night where Emma Stone, Oppenheimer, and Succession all triumphed.
Blockbuster film Barbie - which earned $1.4billion in the worldwide box office last year - won the top honor when it comes to comedy films but it was not scheduled to appear on the broadcast and instead was announced during a vignette before breaking off into commercial.
Chelsea, 48, did not stand for the film not being recognized during the televised portion as she went rogue after a return from break at the event held at The Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California which featured a star-studded red carpet.
The host announced: 'Earlier tonight Barbie was awarded best comedy. I'll go rogue because Greta and Margot deserve to make a speech. Would you mind coming up and accepting the award for Best Comedy.'
Margot, 33, and 40-year-old filmmaker Greta quickly got up and walked up to the stage to accept the crowning achievement with impromptu speeches at the event which honors the finest achievements in both filmmaking and television programming over the year of 2023.

Barbie's Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig accepted Best Comedy after host Chelsea Handler demanded on-air moment at the Critics Choice Awards while Paul Giamatti landed a shock win over Cillian Murphy on a night where Emma Stone, Oppenheimer, and Succession all triumphed.
The film beat out American Fiction, Bottoms, The Holdovers, No Hard Feelings, and Poor Things.
Perhaps the most shocking moment of the night came when Paul Giamatti beat out favorite Cillian Murphy in the Best Actor category.
Paul, 56, was up for the award for The Holdovers while Cillian, 47, was nominated for blockbuster Oppenheimer as they were up against Bradley Cooper - Maestro, Leonardo DiCaprio - Killers of the Flower Moon, Colman Domingo - Rustin, and Jeffrey Wright - American Fiction.
In the film The Holdovers he portrays a cranky history teacher at a remote prep school is forced to remain on campus over the holidays with a troubled student who has no place to go.
Meanwhile Emma Stone was also one of the biggest winners of the night as she earned Best Actress for Poor Things.
The 35-year-old actress - who also triumphed at the Golden Globe Awards last week - was in disbelief as she won over a very stacked category which included the likes of Lily Gladstone - Killers Of The Flower Moon, Sandra Hüller - Anatomy of a Fall, Greta Lee - Past Lives, Carey Mulligan - Maestro, Margot Robbie - Barbie.
She recognized each of her competitors individually during the beginning of her acceptance speech as she said: 'Um, I'll be honest. I'm in full blown I didn't have anything that I was going to say because this is completely crazy. This category is ridiculous. Lily, I mean, come on. Margot. What in the Carey. Okay. Greta and Sandra Huller. This doesn't make any sense.'
