This post was originally published on this site

Hi Barbie, again!

The summer smash hit “Barbie” is the belle of the ball this awards season. After receiving nine nominations for the Golden Globes, the film is leading the pack for this year’s Critics Choice Awards.

The movie has earned 18 nominations overall, leading all the contenders. Among them are Best Picture, Best Comedy, Best Hair and Makeup, Best Actress for Margot Robbie, Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling and Best Supporting Actress for America Ferrera.

KTLA 5’s Sam Rubin read the main categories in an exclusive broadcast on the KTLA 5 Morning News on Wednesday from the island of Maui.

The Critics Choice Association has teamed up with the Four Seasons Hotel on the island, along with the people of Maui, to “share the spotlight” of the award nomination announcement.

“The people of Maui want you to come to Maui, Maui is open, incredibly welcoming,” Sam explained.

When the wildfires first broke out this summer, tourists were urged to halt their travel to the island, but now it is welcoming visitors. While Lahaina is continuing to rebuild, the other areas are open and ready.

“Now, here in December, and beyond- Maui is open, it is beautiful, it is open and ready to receive you for your vacation and for your celebration,” Sam continued.
