Big Bang, Fargo, The Good Wife, Masters Of Sex, The Normal Heart Lead 2014 Critics Choice Nominations

The critics have spoken, and they remain enamored with CBS' The Big Bang Theory and The Good Wife and have taken a shine to FX's Fargo and Showtime's Masters of Sex.

Nominations for the fourth annual Critics' Choice Television Awards were announced Wednesday morning, and the four series — as well as HBO's Ryan Murphy-helmed AIDS pic The Normal Heart — scored a leading five nods apiece.

In addition to securing one of the six best comedy series slots, Big Bang saw four of its actors recognized: Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Mayim Bialik and guest star James Earl Jones. The Good Wife, meanwhile, scored nominations for best drama, lead actress Julianna Margulies, supporting players Christine Baranski and Josh Charles and guest actress Carrie Preston.

Coming off its acclaimed rookie season, Masters of Sex landed nominations for best drama series, leading actor Michael Sheen, leading actress Lizzy Caplan and guest players Allison Janney and Beau Bridges.

Janney, whose supporting work in CBS' Mom was also recognized, was one of three actors to snag dual nods, joining Walton Goggins (Justified and Sons of Anarchy) and Martin Freeman (Fargo and Sherlock).
