The Favourite has run away with the Critics Choice Awards nominations. The darkly funny period drama, starring Olivia Colman as Queen Anne and Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone as warring cousins vying for royal attention, will lead the ceremony with a whopping 14 nominations, including nods for best picture, best actress (Colman), best supporting actress (Stone and Weisz) and best director (Yorgos Lanthimos).

The Favourite was followed closely by Marvel juggernaut Black Panther, which picked up 12 nods, including best picture, best acting ensemble, and best supporting actor (Michael B. Jordan). Damien Chazelles First Man, which seemed to lose some steam earlier in the awards race, came in third with 10 nods. Meanwhile, Mary Poppins Returns, A Star Is Born, and Vice followed with nine nods apiece. While A Star Is Born has long been considered a front runner this season, neither Vice nor Mary Poppins has yet hit theaters. Both, however, have slowly been gaining traction with critics and beyond, making a strong showing when Golden Globes nominations were announced; Vice ended up leading that field, with six nods total. And while the Globes are, well, the Globes, the Critics Choice nods offer a slightly more predictive glimpse at what films might might go all the way to the Oscars.

Speaking of films that might go all the way: Roma, which was named best picture on Sunday by both the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and by the New York Critics Circle Online on Sunday, landed eight Critics Choice nominations. Alfonso Cuaróns critically adored period drama, inspired by his Mexican upbringing in the 1970s, was painted as a best picture front runner early on in this awards race and critics have been eager to to prove the predictions right. Green Book, another early contender, landed seven nominations.

In the TV realm, HBO and Netflix tied with 20 nods apiece, thanks to the success of shows like Sharp Objects and One Day at a Time, respectively. Amy Adams stood out with two nods; one for her supporting turn in Vice, and one for her lead turn in Sharp Objects.

FX followed closely behind HBO and Netflix, with shows like The Americans and *The Assassination of Gianni Versace picking up five crucial nods each. Meanwhile, Showtimes Escape at Dannemora made a strong debut with five nods of its own. The full list of nominations can be read here. The Critics Choice Awards will air Jan. 13, 2019 on The CW.
