Justified, Broad City, Empire, Mom, 24, Jane The Virgin, Transparent Lead The 2015 Critics Choice Nominations

The critics are out for (new) blood!

Nominations for the fifth annual Critics' Choice Television Awards were announced Wednesday, and the list is chock-full of first-time nominees from rookie hits and established series.

In something of a surprise, FX's Justified parlayed widespread acclaim for its final season into a leading five nominations, including best drama series, lead actor for Timothy Olyphant, supporting actor for Walton Goggins (who's also up for his guest work on Sons of Anarchy), supporting actress for Joelle Carter and guest performer for Sam Elliott.

Following closely behind with four nods apiece were FX's The Americans, CBS' The Good Wife and Amazon's Transparent.

Transparent was one of several freshman series scoring multiple nominations. Others include ABC's How to Get Away With Murder, The CW's Jane the Virgin, HBO's The Leftovers, HBO's Togetherness and Fox's breakout hit Empire (which nabbed nods for best drama series and actress for Taraji P. Henson.

CBS' Mom cracked the best comedy series category for the first time (last year's supporting actress winner Allison Janney is back in contention), as did FX's You're the Worst. Meanwhile, NBC's Parenthood saw its farewell season recognized with two acting nominations (for Craig T. Nelson and Mae Whitman).

In addition to the aforementioned Carter, Henson, Nelson and Whitman, first-time nominees include Eva Green (for Showtime's Penny Dreadful), Viola Davis (for ABC's How to Get Away With Murder), Bob Odenkirk (for AMC's Better Call Saul), Aden Young (for SundanceTV's Rectify), Carrie Coon and Christopher Eccleston (for HBO's The Leftovers), Katheryn Winnick (for History's Vikings), Lorraine Toussaint (for Netflix's Orange Is the New Black), Ben Mendelsohn (for Netflix's Bloodline), Anthony Anderson (for ABC's Blackish), Jeffrey Tambor (for Amazon's Transparent), Will Forte (for Fox's The Last Man on Earth), Constance Wu (for ABC's Fresh Off the Boat), Gina Rodriguez and Jaime Camil (for The CW's Jane the Virgin), Lisa Kudrow (for HBO's The Comeback), Tituss Burgess (for Netflix's The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and Melanie Lynskey (for HBO's Togetherness), among others.

Several of last year's big winners failed to score a nomination this time around. Included in that list are Orphan Black's Tatiana Maslany, Scandal's Bellamy Young, Orange Is the New Black's Uzo Aduba and Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons.

On the movie/limited series front, ABC's struggling American Crime put in a strong showing, as did Fox's well-received revival of 24.

The Broadcast Television Journalists Association — of which TVLine's Michael Ausiello serves on the executive committee and Matt Webb Mitovich is a member — will announce the winners at a Sunday, May 31 awards gala broadcast live on A&E (8/7c).
