Everything Everywhere All At Once leads this year's Critics Choice Awards nominations with a total of 14 nods. The Awards ceremony will be held on Jan. 15 and will be broadcast on the CW network. Check local listings for times.
The Critics Choice Association has a pretty good track record when it comes to serving as a bellwether for Oscar, perhaps because CCA casts a wide net and diverse net. The organization represents more than 600 media critics and entertainment journalists. I'm one of them.
So if you're addicted to Oscar pools or just an interested bystander, the list of the 28th Annual Critics Choice Award nominees offer a good way to gear up for another awards season.
