The press has spoken, or the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, at least, with this year’s Golden Globe nominations, and so have the actors. (See: SAG Award Nominations). Now, it is the critics’ turn to comment.
On Monday, the Critics Choice Association announced the films nominated for the 26th Critics Choice Awards. (Nominations for TV were announced previously, with The crown Y Ozark as the most nominated series of the year).
Mank is the most nominated film of the year, with 12 nominations, followed by Minari with 10 nominations and Ma Rainey’s black ass with eight. Olivia Colman, meanwhile, is the only actress recognized by both films (The father) and TV (The crown).
Winners will be announced on Sunday, March 7, and Taye Diggs will return as host. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the show will be an “in-person / virtual hybrid” with Diggs hosting Los Angeles and the nominees will appear remotely, airing on The CW.
