The 30th Critics Choice Awards TV nominations were released on Thursday, and, much like this year’s Emmy’s, Shōgun leads the pack.
The FX and Hulu series is nominated for six awards, while several other shows came away with four nominations each, including Abbott Elementary, Disclaimer, Hacks, The Penguin, The Diplomat and What We Do in the Shadows.
Netflix has the most nominations out of all networks and streaming platforms, coming away with 23, while HBO and Max follow closely behind with 21.
The nominations for the Critics Choice Awards film categories will be announced on Dec. 12, while the actual awards show will take place on Jan. 12 in Santa Monica, California. Chelsea Handler hosts the event, which will air live on E! and stream the next day on Peacock.
Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson are frenemies in the new trailer for the upcoming comedy Friendship.
The new A24 film takes Robinson’s signature cringe-style comedy to the big screen. Written and directed by Andrew DeYoung, the film follows suburban dad Craig, played by Robinson, who “falls hard for his charismatic new neighbor,” according to its official description. As Craig attempts to make an adult male friend, he threatens to ruin both of their lives.
The trailer finds Robinson’s Craig invited over to his neighbor’s house for a drink with some of his buddies. After a moment of bonding, the men break out into a rendition of “My Boo” by The Ghost Town DJ’s.
Just when Craig feels as though he’s made some new friends, he gets brought back down to earth.
“Look, we had a couple of really nice hangs, but I think it best that we go our separate ways. I don’t wish to continue this friendship,” Rudd says in the trailer.
Kate Mara and Jack Dylan Grazer also star in the film, which makes its U.S. premiere on March 9. It hits theaters sometime in May.
The 2025 Oscar nominations were announced on Thursday.
Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang announced the nominees in all 23 categories for the 97th Academy Awards at 5:30 a.m. PST / 8:30 a.m. EST from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles.
Conan O’Brien will host the 97th Academy Awards, airing live on ABC on Sunday, March 2, beginning at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.

Legendary film and television actor Dick Van Dyke is giving credit to neighbors and other good Samaritans for helping him escape a raging wildfire in Malibu, California.
In an interview with Los Angeles ABC station KABC, the Mary Poppins star reflected on the close call as he wrestled with a fire hose and grew tired before neighbors and good Samaritans saved him before the Franklin Fire closed in on his home last week.
“I have a fire hose, which I put in the pool, and it makes a nice big stream,” he told KABC. “I got it out and it was in snarls, and I’m down on the ground wrestling with this thing, trying to get it undone and the fire is coming over the hill … I didn’t realize, but I had exhausted myself.”
“I couldn’t get up. They had to pick me up and carry me to the car,” Van Dyke said. He said the group also put out the fire, which was burning his guest house.
“They saved my house and my life, these guys. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be here,” he said.
In the interview with KABC, Van Dyke also discussed his 99th birthday, which he celebrated on Friday, sharing that the secret to his long and prosperous life is to avoid being hateful. “Haters don’t live very long,” he said.
“The funny thing is I’ve never met a 99-year-old person, so I don’t know how to behave. How do you act when you’re 99?” he joked.
Van Dyke was one of about 20,000 people under evacuation as the Franklin Fire swept the coastal community beginning Monday, Dec. 9. As of Sunday, the more than 4,000-acre fire was 42% contained and had destroyed at least nine structures, including four homes, and damaged six additional homes, officials said.
