I hate to say I told you so, but does anyone else remember little old me saying how blown away I was by “Mad Max: Fury Road,” and declaring that we had the year’s first Academy Awards contender? Well here we are a couple of months away, and all the critics groups are showering the film with laurels, my own Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) joining in.

The 2016 Critics Choice Awards Nominations show that “Mad Max: Fury Road” leads with a whopping 13 nods, including Best Picture, Charlize Theron for both Best Actress and Best Actress In An Action Movie, Tom Hardy for Best Actor In An Action Movie, George Miller for Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Hair and Makeup, Best Visual Effects, Best Action Movie, and Best Sci-Fi/Horror Movie.

Other multi-nominated films include “Carol,” “The Martian” and “The Revenant” impressed with nine nominations each, all in the running for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Cinematography, among others.  “Spotlight” earned eight nominations, followed by “The Big Short” with seven, and “The Hateful Eight” with six.  “Bridge of Spies,” “Brooklyn,” “The Danish Girl,” “Jurassic World,” and “Sicario” each garnered five nominations and “Room” earned four.

Jennifer Lawrence is up for three awards, for her work in both “Joy” and “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2,” while Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron are both nominated for two acting awards.  Rachel McAdams is up for two awards as well, garnering nominations for her film work in “Spotlight”, and her television work in True Detective.

But isn’t that last one a television show, you may ask. You’re so observant! This year, we’re combining our TV awards with our movie awards, as the Hollywood Foreign Press does with the Golden Globes. Yes, this seems like an awful lot of awards for one program, but don’t worry — we’ve increased the program to three hours instead of two, and will not be handing out every single award during the broadcast. Some winners will be announced on the red carpet. Phew!

The 21^st Annual Critics’ Choice Awards winners will be revealed live at the star-studded Critics’ Choice Awards gala, which will be broadcast from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica on A&E, Lifetime and LMN on Sunday, January 17 at 8PM ET/ 5PM PT. Actor and comedian T.J. Miller, whom I absolutely adore in the HBO comedy Silicon Valley, will serve as the show’s host. See details at CriticsChoice.com.

So without further ado, the nominees are:
