Nominations for the 2018 Broadcast Film Critics Association’s Critics' Choice Awards have been announced. With awards season coming to a head, the Critics' Choice Awards is one of many ceremonies to precede the Oscars, and the recent nominees indicate some likely frontrunners.

The race is on, but the competition is tight. While the films that were expected to receive nominations didn't disappoint (Luca Guadagnino's adaptation of Call Me By Your Name and Steven Spielberg's political drama The Post being the standouts), genre films are also having their time to shine. Jordan Peele's social thriller Get Out earned earned 5 nominations and James Mangold's Logan earned 3 nominations (including a Best Supporting Actor nod for Patrick Stewart's portrayal of Professor X), while Guillermo del Toro's sci-fi romance The Shape of Water stole the show with a dominating 14 nominations.

There are, however, some noticeable snubs. Denzel Washington and Judi Dench were excluded from Best Actor and Actress categories for Roman J. Israel, Esq. and Victoria and Abdul, respectively. Both actors are typically awards favorites, but they ultimately turned up short. Paul Thomas Anderson has also been left out in the Best Picture, Screenplay, and Directing categories for Phantom Thread, despite the film's initial critical acclaim.

With the Best Picture nominees rounding out near-perfect scores on Rotten Tomatoes, it appears to be anyone's game. That said, though, if critics aren't clamoring for comedies like The Big Sick or low-budget fare like The Florida Project, then The Shape of Water's nominations sweep might indicate precisely where their collective decisions will ultimately lean.

Here is the complete list of nominees:
