The Favourite Receives Oscar Boost with 14 Critics' Choice Awards Nominations

Rachel Weisz and Olivia Colman in 'The Favourite'
Element Pictures’ period dramedy ‘The Favourite’ has strengthened its claim in the race for Oscar recognitions with an incredible 14 Critics’ Choice Awards nominations.

Yorgos Lanthimos’ film leads the list of nominees with Disney’s ‘Black Panther’ earning 12 noms and Universal’s ‘First Man’ earning 10 noms.

One of the most reliable Academy Award indicators in recent years, the Critics’ Choice Awards nominations come off the back of the films recent Golden Globe recognition with Yorgos Lanthimos’ feature receiving five nominations including one for Best Picture.

‘The Favourite’ has been a critical and festival hit since it premiered on the Lido in Venice in August where it scooped the Grand Jury Prize and Olivia Colman won Best Actress. Last weekend the film dominated the BIFA’s (British Independent Film Awards) with a record-breaking 10 awards on the night. It is currently performing strongly at the US box office where it had the highest per screen average on its opening weekend since ‘La La Land’, two years ago. 

These nominations come on the back of rave reviews from US press including The New York Times  (‘wildly entertaining’), USA Today (‘an abundantly entertaining gem’), The Los Angeles Times (‘a devious delight’), The Wall Street Journal (‘sizzling hot’) and Rolling Stone (‘a bawdy, brilliant triumph’). 

‘The Favourite’ stars Olivia Colman and Academy Award winners Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone and marks the third collaboration between Element Pictures and director Yorgos Lanthimos following award-winning films ‘The Lobster’ and ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer’.

The film was shot by Irish cinematographer Robbie Ryan and was partly post produced in Dublin. It will be released in Ireland in January 2019 through Fox Searchlight. 

‘The Favourite’ is written by Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara and is produced by Ed Guiney and executive produced by Andrew Lowe for Element Pictures. Other producers include Ceci Dempsey, Lee Magiday and Yorgos Lanthimos. The film is an Element Pictures/Scarlet Films production for Fox Searchlight, Film4 and Waypoint.

The 24th annual Critic’ Choice Awards take place on January 13th, 2019.
