by Jennie Kermode

Edward Berger's Conclave and John M Chu's Wicked are the big success stories in the Critics Choice Awards nominations, with 11 apiece, while Emilia Pérez and Dune: Part Two continue to look like serious contenders, picking up 10 this time around. Also making a strong showing as the race hots up are Anora, Nickel Boys and The Substance.

Once against, Coralie Fargeat emerged as the only woman in consideration in a list which, outside the acting categories, was heavily slanted towards men.
