The Favourite leads Critics Choice Awards nominations

‘The Favourite’ leads the nominations for the Critics’ Choice Awards with 14 nods.
The movie is up for the coveted Best Picture accolade, while director Yorgos Lanthimos and Olivia Colman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz have also been shortlisted.
Following close behind is ‘Black Panther’ with 12 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Acting Ensemble and Best Supporting Actor for Michael B. Jordan, while ‘First Man’ received 10 nods and ‘Mary Poppins Returns’, ‘A Star Is Born’ and ‘Vice’ all received nine.
All five of the highest-nominated films will contest for Best Picture, along with ‘Roma’, ‘Green Book’, BlacKkKlansman’ and ‘If Beale Street Could Talk’.
A number of individual nominees could go home with more than one gong, with Bradley Cooper up for Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director for ‘A Star Is Born, and Spike Lee nominated in both the latter two categories. ‘Vice’ Adam McKay is on the Best Director shortlist, and is also in the running for Best Original Screenplay, while ‘Roma’ director Alfonso Cuaron is also in the director and original screenplay nominees lists, as well as those for cinematography and editing.
‘The Favourite’ star Olivia, ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ actress Emily Blunt, ‘Eighth Grade’s Elsie Fisher and ‘Vice’ actor Christian Bale are shortlisted in more than one acting category, and Sandy Powell has received two nominations for costume design, thanks to her work on both ‘The Favourite’ and ‘Mary Poppins Returns’.
In the TV nominations, the final series of ‘The Americans’, ‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story’ and ‘Escape at Dannemora’ lead the nominations with five nods apiece.
‘The Americans’ – which scored acting nominations for lead stars Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell and co-stars Holly Taylor and Noah Emmerich – will contest for the prestigious Best Drama Series award alongside ‘Better Call Saul’, ‘The Good Fight’, ‘Homecoming’, ‘Killing Eve’, ‘My Brilliant Friend’, ‘Pose’ and ‘Succession’.
Both ‘American Crime Story’ and ‘Escape at Dannemora’ are up for Best Limited Series alongside ‘A Very English Scandal’, ‘American Vandal’, ‘Genius: Picasso’ and ‘Sharp Objects’.
The Best Comedy Series shortlist features ‘Atlanta’, ‘Barry’, ‘The Good Place’, ‘The Kominsky Method’,’ The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’, ‘The Middle’, ‘One Day at a Time’ and ‘Schitt’s Creek’.
