Critics Choice Awards 2025: Full list of film and TV nominees

‘Wicked’ and ‘Conclave’ lead film nominations, while ‘Shōgun’ leads TV nominations

The Critics Choice Awards have announced the nominees for its 2025 film ceremony, with Jon M. Chu’s popular Wicked adaptation and Edward Berger’s religious thriller Conclave leading nominations with 11 nods apiece.

The forthcoming ceremony will celebrate the best contributions made in both film and television over the past year.

Film nominees were announced on Thursday (December 12), just a week after the TV nominees.

Samurai epic Shōgun picked up the most nominations in the television categories with a total of six.

All the awards will then be handed out at a ceremony on Sunday, January 12, at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

The historical drama Shōgun has already dominated at the 2024 Creative Arts Emmys, where it swept up 14 awards and set a record for most Emmy wins in one year.

Several other shows landed four nominations each, including Abbott Elementary, Disclaimer, Hacks, The Penguin, The Diplomat and What We Do in the Shadows.
