The Broadcast Film Critics Association announced nominations for the upcoming 23rd Annual Critics Choice Awards Wednesday morning. Critical and box office darling Coco continues its awards show (and inevitable Oscar) momentum by nabbing two nominations, one for Best Animated Feature and another for Best Song (“Remember Me”, the film’s central song).

Here is the full list of Best Animated Feature nominees:

  • The Breadwinner (Cartoon Saloon)
  • Coco (Disney Pixar)
  • Despicable Me 3 (Illumination Entertainment)
  • The LEGO Batman Movie (Warner Animation Group)
  • Loving Vincent (BreakTru Productions)

Veteran shows dominated on the Television side as six shows were nominated:

  • Archer (FX)
  • Bob’s Burgers (Fox)
  • BoJack Horseman (Netflix)
  • Danger & Eggs (Amazon)
  • Rick and Morty (Adult Swim, Cartoon Network)
  • The Simpsons (Fox)

The ceremony will air live next year on January 11th on The CW from 8:00pm-10:00pm.

    I could never take the TV nominations especially animation, seriously. its always the same shows. I bet Archer will win again.

  • Renard N. Bansale

    I hope the Academy’s animation branch will stay away from Despicable Me 3 and The Lego Batman Movie.

    • Manuel Orozco

      Why do you think for Lego Batman?

  • It’s a solid list and I’d imagine the Oscars and
    Golden Globes will have a similar list. But I must
    say that it’s really cool to see Remember Me get
    nominated. It’s a beautiful and emotional song.

  • Eli Sanza

    Does Despicable Me 3 really deserve a nomination over Captain Underpants? That’s the only thing about the list I have a problem with. I’m happy to see the Broadcast Film Critics Association remember about the brilliance of Lego Batman, though. I hope it gets an Oscar nomination.

  • Manuel Orozco

    Not that I will watch the award show but I will be okay if either Coco, Lego Batman or Despicable Me 3 wins. All three are on par with each other despite certain differences.
