With nominations announced for both film and television, it’s time to dive into who’s hot, who’s not, and who’s just plain shocking. Spoiler alert: Shōgun is leading the charge!
The Film Nominations: A Game of Thrones
The 2024 Critics' Choice film nominations have dropped faster than a bad sequel at the box office. According to Variety, we’re seeing some heavyweight contenders fighting it out for the coveted Best Picture trophy. Can you feel the tension? It’s palpable, like waiting for the last slice of pizza at a party.
Among the standouts, “Conclave” and “Wicked” have both snagged a whopping 11 nominations, proving that when it comes to cinematic battles, the stakes are high and the drama is thicker than a Netflix binge-watch session. And speaking of Netflix, they’re not just sitting back and watching; they’ve got some serious contenders in the mix.
TV Nominations: Shōgun Takes the Lead
Now let’s switch gears to the television side of things because, darling, it’s just as juicy. FX's Shōgun is flexing its muscles with six nominations, making it the heavyweight champion of the Critics' Choice Television Awards. Yes, you heard that right! It’s a showdown of epic proportions, with Deadline highlighting it as the must-watch series of the year.
But hold your horses! Other shows like “Abbott Elementary” and “Hacks” are galloping right behind, each racking up four nominations. It's a fierce competition that feels like watching a reality show where everyone’s vying for the last rose. And trust me, nobody wants to get sent home!
The Critics Choice Association: A Force to Reckon With
Let’s not forget about the Critics Choice Association, which has been stirring the pot in the industry with their nominations. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, they’re recognizing not just the big players like Netflix and HBO, but also newer platforms that are redefining how we consume content.
This year’s nominations serve as a reminder that the industry is evolving faster than you can say “streaming wars.” With an ever-growing number of platforms, the competition is fierce, and the storytellers are more diverse than ever. It’s a beautiful mess, and I’m here for it.

With the nominations freshly minted, the speculation about who will take home the golden statuettes begins. Are we looking at a repeat of previous years, or will there be surprises that leave us gasping? Next Best Picture has some predictions that might just keep you on the edge of your seat.
