2014 Critics Choice Awards Nominations
With awards season just a hop and a skip away the latest round of nominations has been announced, this time for the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards.
There are no major surprises or notable snubs in any of the big categories with plenty of buzzed about films and frequently awarded actors on the lineup.
Gravity took out the largest number of nominations with a huge ten including Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Director. Captain Phillips, Her, Nebraska, and The Wolf of Wall Street all followed with six nominations each.
The biggest award on the evening is, of course, Best Picture and this year sees American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity, Her, Inside Llewyn Davis, Nebraska, Saving Mr Banks, 12 Years a Slace, and The Wold of Wall Street nominated. Considering that last year eight of the best picture nominated films for the Critics’ Choice went on to earn Oscar nominations, and the years before saw nine in both line-ups, the odds are good one of these films will take out the Oscar on 2014 too.
With so many amazing films on the roster, it’s going to be interesting see who takes it out. The ceremony will take place on January 17th.
Scroll down for the full list of nominees and check out the nominations for the Golden Globes here.
Shane Warne and Elizabeth Hurley Split
Rumours that Shane Warne and Elizabeth Hurley’s relationship is on the rocks have been rife for months now, and it seems they’ve reared their ugly head again.
This time it was Hello! Magazine who called it, saying that the pair, who have been engaged since September 2011, had ended their relationship. A source shared, “It is very sad and they tried to make it work but there were just too many issues in the way. Elizabeth is taking it one day at a time. She will always be extremely fond of Shane.”
Overnight, Warne tweeted the cryptic, “The past should be the past & stay there. It destroys the future. Live life for what tomorrow has to offer, not what happened yesterday” which could have just as easily been some sort of message to the cricketers playing in the Ashes as it could be a hint at a broken down relationship…
Since then, Warne has done is best to dismiss the rumours, tweeting, “Just reading this mornings paper & was laughing at some reports about me. Didn’t read one factually correct quote from the so called source.”
The couple were last spotted together in Sydney just over a month ago, and it is alleged they will be spending Christmas apart with Warne in Australia spending time with family and covering the Ashes for Channel 9 and Hurley with her son at the couple’s $10 million mansion in Herefordshire in England.
We’ve heard these rumours again and again and this most unlikely of couples continue to remain a pair so we’re not buying this one until the official word is spoken but, as they say, where there’s smoke there’s usually fire!
Miley Cyrus Opens Up to Barbara Walters
If there’s anyone who can get a celeb to really open up, it’s Barbara Walters. During her ABC News Special Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2013, the incredible personality gets a little honesty from one of her most fascinating people and one of pop culture’s most prolific faces of 2013 — Miley Cyrus.
In the interview, which will air on Wednesday in the US, Cyrus spills the beans on her engagement and split from to Liam Hemsworth, admitting for the first time what the rest of the world already knew — that the engagement was a little too soon and a little too early.
“I don’t think I realized what 19 truly is, and I got engaged at 19, and I definitely wouldn’t change being engaged. It was so fun wearing a fat rock for a few years. But now, I just feel like I can actually be happy. I wait for those moments of silence, when I’m just at my house, by myself.” Cyrus shared.
“I was so scared of ever being alone, and I think, conquering that fear, this year, was actually bigger than any other transition that I had, this entire year.”
We’re sure there are going to be plenty of other big reveals from Miley and the other fascinating people during the segment — stay tuned!
