    "Boyhood" scores 8 noms from Broadcast Film Critics Association

    LOS ANGELES --

    The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) has announced the nominees for The 20th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards. The winners will be revealed at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, which will be broadcast live on A&E from the Hollywood Palladium on January 15 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT, the day the Academy Award nominations are announced. This is the first year that the BFCA will partner with A&E to broadcast the show.

    “Birdman” leads this year with 13 nominations including Best Picture, Michael Keaton for Best Actor and Best Actor in a Comedy, Edward Norton for Best Supporting Actor, Emma Stone for Best Supporting Actress, Best Acting Ensemble, Alejandro G. Inarritu for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, Best Comedy, and Best Score.

    “The Grand Budapest Hotel” also impressed with eleven nominations, which include Best Picture, Ralph Fiennes for Best Actor and Best Actor in a Comedy, Tony Revolori for Best Young Actor/Actress, Best Acting Ensemble, Wes Anderson for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design and Best Comedy.

    “Boyhood” was nominated for eight awards including Best Picture, Ethan Hawke for Best Supporting Actor, Patricia Arquette for Best Supporting Actress, Ellar Coltrane for Best Young Actor/Actress, Best Acting Ensemble, Richard Linklater for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing.

    “Interstellar” earned seven nominations, followed by “Gone Girl” and “The Imitation Game” each with six. “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Into The Woods,” “Selma,” and “The Theory of Everything” were each nominated for five awards, while “Edge of Tomorrow,” “Inherent Vice,” “St. Vincent,” “Unbroken” and “Whiplash” are each in the running for four.

    The BFCA is the largest film critics’  organization in the U.S. and Canada, representing nearly 300 TV, radio and online critics.

    Joey Berlin, president of the BFCA, noted, “BFCA members are the primary source of information for today’s film-going public. Historically, the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards are the most accurate predictor of the Academy Award nominations.”

    As announced previously, Kevin Costner, Ron Howard and Jessica Chastain will each receive special honors at the ceremony. Costner, winner of two Academy Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award, will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award celebrating more than three decades of work in film. The LOUIS XIII Critics’ Choice Genius Award, established to honor an icon who has demonstrated unprecedented excellence in the cinematic arts, will be presented to multiple award-winning director, producer and actor Ron Howard. Chastain will receive the inaugural Critics’ Choice MVP Award, which recognizes an extraordinary actor for their work in several standout movies throughout a single year. She is being saluted for starring in the films "Interstellar," "Miss Julie," "A Most Violent Year" (which also earned her a nomination this year), and "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby."
