With 14 nominations, including Best Picture, the dark comedy film “The Favourite” (about Great Britain’s Queen Anne and two women who compete for her affections) is the top nominee for the 24th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards, which will be presented at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, on January 13, 2019. The CW network will have the U.S. telecast of the show. The awards are voted for by the Broadcast Television Journalists Association and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association.
Following close behind in nominations is the superhero flick “Black Panther,” which has 12 nods; the astronaut drama “First Man,” which received 10 nominations; the 2018 remake of “A Star Is Born,” the musical sequel “Mary Poppins Returns” and the dark political comedy “Vice,” which have nine nominations each; the Spanish-language drama “Roma,” which picked up eight nods; and the race-relations drama “Green Book,” which has seven nominations. All of these films, along with the African-American dramas “BlacKkKlansman” and “If Beale Street Could Talk,” are in the running for Best Picture.
Most of the film nominees have received nominations at other prominent award shows. However, there were some noticeable snubs: Lucas Hedges for “Boy Erased” or “Ben Is Back”; Julia Roberts for “Ben Is Back”; Lin-Manuel Miranda for “Mary Poppins Returns”; and Sam Rockwell for “Vice.” The biggest surprise nominations were for the dark comedy “Sorry to Bother You,” which received two nods: Best Comedy and Best Actor in a Comedy (for Lakeith Stanfield). The movie has been critically acclaimed but had been shut out of other major awards nominations so far.
In the TV field, the leading nominees (with five each) are the spy drama series “The Americans” and the true-crime miniseries “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” and “Escape at Dannemora.” Many of the nominees are the same who received Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for 2018. However, noticeable snubs include “The Handmaid’s Tale” for Best Drama Series; Benedict Cumberbatch of “Patrick Melrose” for Best Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television; Sterling K. Brown of “This Is Us” for Best Actor in a Drama Series; Alison Brie of “GLOW” for Best Actress in a Comedy Series; and Édgar Ramírez of “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television. Surprise nominations include “Schitt’s Creek” and “The Middle” getting nominated for Best Comedy Series, instead of previous Critics’ Choice nominees “GLOW” and “Orange Is the New Black.”
Here is the complete list of nominees for the 2019 Critics’ Choice Awards.

When it comes to awards, it’s nice to be nominated, but it’s even better to win. The year 2018 was one of the strongest in this decade for movies that have been well-received by critics and/or ticket-buying audiences. Movies from major studios that were blockbusters at the box office have become more critically acclaimed than they have been in recent years, and that means more of these types of blockbuster movies could be competing against smaller, critically acclaimed independent films for Academy Awards. Here’s a tally of the feature films released in U.S. theaters in 2018 that have gotten the most awards so far. This list, which is in alphabetical order, will be updated as more award winners are announced.

With four awards each, the fantasy drama film “The Shape of Water” and the TV drama series “Big Little Lies” were the top winners at the 23rd Critics’ Choice Awards. The winners were revealed live at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, on January 11, 2018. The award show, hosted by Olivia Munn, was telecast in the U.S. on The CW. Members of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association vote for the awards, which honor movies and television.
“The Shape of Water” won the awards for Best Picture, Best Director (for Guillermo del Toro, Best Production Design and Best Score. In a repeat of the 2018 Golden Globe victories, “Big Little Lies” won Best Limited Series, Best Actress in a Limited Series (for Nicole Kidman), Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series (for Laura Dern) and Best Actor in a Limited Series (for Alexander Skarsgard.)
Other multiple winners included “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” which received three prizes. Meanwhile, “Coco,” “I, Tonya,” “Darkest Hour,” “Get Out,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and won two awards each. “Lady Bird,” which has been winning awards at almost every movie-related ceremony, didn’t win any prizes of this year’s Critics’ Choice Awards. The snub was noticeable and ironic, considering that “Lady Bird” was one of the most critically acclaimed movies of 2017.

It’s been a joy to experience these films and we can’t wait to celebrate them all on January 11.”
“Choosing a handful of outstanding programs or personalities to nominate in any category is a daunting task given the sheer volume of high quality options today on broadcast and cable television and streaming services,” said BTJA President Ed Martin. “But after much careful consideration and thoughtful debate I believe we have filled all of our categories with the most deserving nominees.”
