Helena Bonham Carter’s on-screen transformation as a Hollywood legend is still earning recognition…
The 47-year-old part-Spanish actress, who earned a British Academy of Film and Television Arts’ TV Awards nomination last month, has been nominated for a Critics’ Choice Television Award from the Broadcast Television Journalists Association.
Bonham Carter received the nod in the Best Actress in a Movie or Mini-Series category for her portrayal of the late Elizabeth Taylor in the BBC biopic Burton and Taylor.
She’ll face off against Return to Zero’s Minnie Driver, A Day Late and a Dollar Short’s Whoopi Goldberg, Bonnie & Clyde’s Holliday Grainger, American Horror Story: Coven’s Jessica Lange and The Trip to Bountiful’s Cicely Tyson.
Meanwhile, Louis C.K. has been nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his performance in his FX series Louie.
The 46-year-old Mexican American actor, who just earned a similar nod from the Television Critics Association, will compete against The Mindy Project’s Chris Messina, Silicon Valley’s Thomas Middleditch, The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons, Parks and Recreation’s Adam Scott and The Crazy Ones’ Robin Williams.
Programs and performances for this round of Critics Choice Television Awards are eligible if they were telecast between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014. But submissions still are being accepted for The Most Exciting New Series category, and any series premiering after May 1, 2014 is eligible – including any announced summer, fall or winter premieres.
That category will be announced on June 9 — 10 days before CW broadcasts the Critics Choice Television Awards on June 19, at 8:00 pm ET, hosted by Cedric the Entertainer.
The awards show will be tape-delayed for an 8:00 pm PT start time.
