Nominations have been announced for the 2022 Critics Choice Association's awards! Taking over last year from the Golden Globes as the primary televised awards show in the run-up to the Oscars, they've once again confirmed their status as the season's most accurate reflection of what people on Gold Derby are predicting for the Academy Awards. Surprises? What surprises?! These are the CCAs! Winners will be anounced on the 15th of January, unless they decide to reschedule to the night of the BAFTAs again. Shame? What shame?!
