Everything Everywhere Leads Film Nominees for the 2023 Critics’ Choice Awards

The critics are almost ready to make their final choices. The Critics’ Choice Association named the film nominees for the 2023 Critics’ Choice Awards on December 14. Everything Everywhere All at Once topped yet another list of nominations, with 14 nominations, nabbing spots in the Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and performance categories for Michelle Yeoh, Key Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, and Jamie Lee Curtis. The Fabelmans earned 11 nods, while Babylon and The Banshees of Inisherin garnered an impressive ten and nine nominations, respectively. Elvis and Tár collected seven nominations each.

The TV nominees were announced a little over a week before their film counterparts. Abbott Elementary topped the class with six nominations, including Best Comedy Series and for performances by faculty members Quinta Brunson, Chris Perfetti, Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, and Auntie Sheryl Lee Ralph. Better Call Saul followed close behind with five nominations, while Gaslit, Reservation Dogs, and The Good Fight each received four. We already know that Jeff Bridges — who is up for Best Actor in a Drama Series for The Old Man — will be honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award. But the rest of this year’s winners won’t be announced until the January 15 ceremony hosted by Chelsea Handler. Find the full list of nominees below.
