The Critics Choice Awards film nominations are in, with Conclave and Wicked earning the most recognition.
In Conclave, Ralph Fiennes portrays a cardinal helming the election of a new pope when he stumbles into a conspiracy. That role earned Fiennes a Best Actor nomination. The film also received six Golden Globe nominations.
In Wicked, Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba, with Ariana Grande as Galinda. The movie, which takes inspiration from the Gregory Maguire novel and Broadway adaptation, offers an origin story for the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Erivo is a candidate for Best Actress, while Grande could win Best Supporting Actress. That film is also a contender for a Golden Globe.
"This year brought us an incredible wealth of storytelling and performances, leading to indescribably close races for nominations. We are honored to be able to celebrate our landmark 30th year of the Critics Choice Awards with this talented group of nominees and are thrilled to bring viewers our best show yet," said Joe Berlin, the CEO of the Critics Choice Awards."Knowing how close the balloting for nominations was, we anticipate an exciting evening of high drama on January 12," he added.
Chelsea Handler is set to host the gala, which airs at 7 p.m. EST on E!, and streams on Peacock Jan. 13.
