BEST ACTOR IN A MOVIE OR MINI-SERIES

David Bradley, "An Adventure in Space and Time" (BBC America)
Benedict Cumberbatch, "Sherlock: His Last Vow" (PBS)
Chiwetel Ejiofor, "Dancing on the Edge" (Starz)
Martin Freeman, "Fargo" (FX)
Mark Ruffalo, "The Normal Heart" (HBO)
Billy Bob Thornton, "Fargo" (FX)


The Broadcast Television Journalists Assn. announced nominations for the 4th Annual Critics' Choice Television Awards on Wednesday. "Fargo," "Masters of Sex," "The Good Wife," "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Normal Heart" were the most-nominated programs of the year, with five nods apiece.

Other programs picking up multiple nominations include "Orange Is the New Black," "Sherlock: His Last Vow," "The Americans" and "Breaking Bad."



On the strength of the limited series "Fargo," adapted from the Coen brothers' 1996 movie, the offbeat comedy "Louie" and the Cold War drama "The Americans," FX has the most nominations of any network. It is followed closely by awards heavyweight HBO (18), which scored nods for the film adaptation of Larry Kramer's play "The Normal Heart" as well as fantasy epic "Game of Thrones," political satire "Veep," Brooklyn-set "Girls," tech-world comedy "Silicon Valley" and gay drama series "Looking."
