Hot off its record haul at the Emmys, FX/Hulu’s Shōgun leads the 30th Critics Choice Awards TV nominations with six, followed by a half-dozen other shows with four each: ABC’s Abbott Elementary, Apple TV+’s Disclaimer, HBO|Max’s Hacks and The Pengiun, Netflix’s The Diplomat and the final season of FX’s What We Do in the Shadows.
Eight other programs are next with three nominations apiece.
Netflix leads all networks and platforms with 23 CCA noms, followed by awards rival HBO|Max with 21. FX with 13 and Apple TV+ with 12 are the only others in double digits.
Nominations for the film categories will be revealed December 12, and the awards will be handed out Sunday, January 12, at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. E! will air the Critics Choice Awards live.
Shōgun picked up a staggering 18 Emmy Awards on 25 nominations at the September 15 ceremony. It will face off in the Critics Choice’s marquee Best Drama Series category against The Diplomat, The Day of the Jackal (Peacock), Evil (Paramount+), Industry (HBO|Max), Interview with the Vampire (AMC), The Old Man (FX) and Slow Horses (Apple TV+).
The samurai period drama’s cast also is well represented in the CCA list, with leads Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai picking up noms along with supporting players Tadanobu Asano, Takehiro Hira and Moeka Hoshi.
Along with Abbott Elementary, Hacks and What We Do in the Shadows, the Comedy Series nominees are FX’s English Teacher, Netflix’s Nobody Wants This, Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, HBO|Max’s just-wrapped Somebody Somewhere and NBC’s freshman St. Denis Medical.
