The Critic’s Choice Awards announced their film nominees today, set to be awarded in a star-studded ceremony on January 15th.
It may be a big night for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which raked in multiple accolades with acting noms for Angela Bassett’s powerhouse supporting performance as Queen Ramonda and recognition of its costuming, hair & makeup, and visual effects. This also led to yet another nod for Rihanna’s bittersweet ballad “Lift Me Up” from the Wakanda Forever soundtrack.
The Woman King also earned multiple honors, with Viola Davis earning a Best Actress nomination, Gina Prince-Bythewood earning a Best Director nod, recognition of costuming, and the entire cast nominated as an ensemble.
