‘Black Panther’ Earns 12 Critics Choice Award Nominations, ‘The Favourite’ Leads With 14

We may have a new Oscar frontrunner, or better put, a new Oscar Favourite. Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite earned an incredible 14 nominations for the 24th Critics Choice Awards, decided on by the Broadcast Film Critics Association of which I am a member. That included Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress for Olivia Colman, and continuing the pattern of this awards season, both Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz for Best Supporting Actress.

Following closely on its heels was Marvel’s Black Panther with 12 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Michael B. Jordan, and Best Acting Ensemble. Damien Chazelle’s First Man, which has been very quiet thus far, apparently struck a chord with BFCA members who gave it 10 nominations.

The full list of nominees is below. The Critics Choice Awards takes place on January 13th 2019 and will air on The CW.
