The Favourite leads awards race with 14 Critics' Choice nominations

Period comedy The Favourite has solidified its position as an early leader in the awards race after securing 14 nominations in the Critics’ Choice awards. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Olivia Colman as Queen Anne, The Favourite is up for best picture, best comedy, best director and best original screenplay, as well as receiving comprehensive nods for its cast: best actress and best comedy actress for Colman, best supporting actress for Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, and best ensemble.

The Critics’ Choice awards, given by the Broadcast Film Critics Association, are considered an accurate barometer of Oscar tastes: The Shape of Water took four awards here last year, when 17 out of 19 common categories had the same winner. It comes after last week’s somewhat inconclusive set of Golden Globes nominations, in which the Dick Cheney comedy Vice, with six nominations, just edged music-star drama A Star Is Born, The Favourite and racediscrimination road movie Green Book, all with five each.

Vice kept its momentum going with nine nominations here, including best picture, best actor and best comedy actor for Christian Bale, and best supporting actress for Amy Adams; as did A Star Is Born, whose nine nods included best actor and director for Bradley Cooper, best actress for Lady Gaga, and best song.

However it was the superhero movie Black Panther that saw its awards chances most inflated by scoring 12 nominations, including best picture, best action movie, best supporting actor for Michael B Jordan and best ensemble. (Director Ryan Coogler failed

to make the cut.) First Man, the moonlanding drama starring Ryan Gosling, also achieved awards-season lift-off, with 10 nods including best picture, best actor and best supporting actress for Claire Foy.

The TV section saw strong showings from the Ben Stiller-directed prison-break series Escape at Dannemora and The Assassination of Gianni Versace, which both took five nominations, along with the cold war spy series The Americans. Sky Atlantic and HBO’s Sharp Objects also did well, securing four nominations including best actress for Amy Adams, while Killing Eve’s Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer were both nominated for best actress and Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s thriller will be up against The Americans, Better Call Saul, The Good Fight, Homecoming, My Brilliant Friend, Pose and Succession in the best drama series category.
