After a couple of date changes due to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, the 30th Annual Critics Choice Awards, hosted by Chelsea Handler, will now air Feb. 7 at 7 p.m. (ET/PT) on E! from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. The ceremony will also stream on Peacock the following day.
N2Entertainment.net will be at the star-studded gala delivering live updates and behind-the-scenes coverage of this highly anticipated event via social media. It promises to be an unforgettable night, highlighting outstanding achievements in film and television, as well as honoring the courageous firefighters and first responders who played an integral role in the wildfire recovery efforts.
As a member of the Critics Choice Association, I had the privilege of voting on the wide range of films released last year. While I didn't cast votes in the television categories, I've still included my personal picks for whom I would love to see take home the awards in that field as well.
On the movie front "Conclave" and "Wicked" lead this year's film contenders, having earned 11 nominations each.
"Conclave" collected nods for "Best Picture" and "Best Acting Ensemble," with Ralph Fiennes recognized in the "Best Actor" category and Isabella Rossellini up for "Best Supporting Actress."
Edward Berger was nominated for "Best Director," while Peter Straughan earned a nod for "Best Adapted Screenplay" and Stephane Fontaine could take home the trophy for "Best Cinematography." Rounding out the nominations for "Conclave" were Suzie Davies for Best Production Design, Nick Emerson for Best Editing, Lisy Christl for Best Costume Design, and Volker Bertelmann for Best Score.
In addition to Best Picture, "Wicked's 11 nominations include a nod for "Best Acting Ensemble," while castmates Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande racked up nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively. Jon M. Chu is a contender for Best Director, with Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, and Alice Brooks for Best Cinematography.
"Dune: Part Two" and "Emilia Perez" follow closely behind with 10 nods apiece, including Best Picture nominations for both films. Rounding out the Best Picture category are "A Complete Unknown," "Anora," "The Brutalist," "Nickel Boys," "Sing Sing," and "The Substance."
"This year brought us an incredible wealth of storytelling and performances, leading to indescribably close races for nominations," said CCA CEO Joey Berlin. "We are honored to be able to celebrate our landmark 30th year of the Critics Choice Awards with this talented group of nominees and are thrilled to bring viewers our best show yet. Knowing how close the balloting for nominations was, we anticipate an exciting evening of high drama on Feb. 7."
On the TV front, "Shogun"(FX/Hulu) leads the television contenders for the 30th annual Critics Choice Awards with six nominations.
Here are the Critics Choice Awards nominees for Film and Television. N2Entertainment.net's picks are bolded.
