Awards season continues to heat up as the Critics Choice Awards nominations were unveiled on Wednesday morning. Some of the biggest and most critically acclaimed performances of the year were recognized on the list, including Viola Davis’ turn in “The Woman King,” Janelle Monáe’s layered performance in “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and more.

Leading the nominations this year is “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” A24’s critically acclaimed multiverse film starring Michelle Yeoh. The picture earned 14 nominations including Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Other Best Picture nominations include “Avatar: The Way of Water,” which of course sees the return of Zoe Saldaña as Neytiri, and “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” starring Monáe, Leslie Odom Jr. and others.

The Best Actress category is a particularly stacked one, with Davis earning a nomination as well as Danielle Deadwyler, who has received rave reviews for her turn as Mamie Till in the new film, “Till.” In the Best Supporting Actress category, Monáe earned a nomination as well as Angela Bassett for her performance in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Brian Tyree Henry earned a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role opposite Jennifer Lawrence in “Causeway.”

Elsewhere, both “The Woman King” and “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” earned nods in the Best Acting Ensemble category while Jalyn Hall received a Best Young Actor/Actress nomination for his performance as Emmett Till in “Till.”

Critics Choice Association CEO Joey Berlin shared in a statement obtained by Variety, “We are so proud to be recognizing this incredible group of films and the people who made them possible. This recognition comes from a diverse group of more than 600 critics and entertainment reporters who share their opinions about film and television with millions of people every day, all year long.”

Berlin added, “Our collective opinion about the year’s finest achievements is truly meaningful to the creative community.”

The 28th Annual Critics Choice Awards will air live at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday, Jan. 15, on The CW.
