Netflix original 'Squid Game' aims for the Critics Choice Awards trophy. The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) announced the list of nominees on the 6th, with the series nominated in three categories: Best Drama Series, Best Actor (Lee Jung-jae), and Best Foreign Language Series. In the Best Drama Series category, it competes against seven other works including NBC's 'This Is Us,' Showtime's 'Yellowjackets,' HBO's 'Succession,' Paramount+'s 'Evil' and 'The Good Fight,' Apple TV+'s 'For All Mankind,' and FX's 'Pose.' Lee Jung-jae stands shoulder to shoulder with Mike Colter from 'Evil,' Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong from 'Succession,' Billy Porter from 'Pose,' and Sterling K. Brown from 'This Is Us.' Nominees for Best Foreign Language Series include Netflix's 'Lupin,' 'Surviving as a Celebrity Manager,' 'Money Heist,' 'Narcos: Mexico,' and Apple TV+'s 'Acapulco.' 'Squid Game' previously won the trophy in the 'Breakthrough Series Long Format over 40 minutes' category at the Gotham Awards on the 29th of last month. The Critics Choice Awards is the ceremony where the film 'Minari' won Best Foreign Language Film last year. At that time, Youn Yuh-jung was nominated for Best Supporting Actress but did not win.
