'Justified' Season 6 Cast: Timothy Olyphant, Joelle Carter Nominated For 2015 Critics Choice!

Based on the crime novels by the late author Elmore Leonard, the Season 6 finale of Justified finally aired. After delivering their swan song, Timothy Olyphant, Walton Goggins, and Joelle Carter have all been nominated by the 2015 Critics Choice Awards for the final showdown between Raylan Givens, Boyd Crowder, and Ava Crowder.

In our previous recap, Boyd murdered an innocent man, (guest star Shea Whigham), who drove him to the mountaintop. During his intense shootout with Raylan, Boyd then filled Constable Bob (Patton Oswalt) with lead, distracting his former best friend. With Bob's status unknown, Boyd had an explosive confrontation with Zachariah. Ava (Joelle Carter) was finally captured by Avery's corrupt police officers and held hostage.

In our finale recap, Boyd threw dynamite to escape the marshals as he blasted his way through Avery Markham (Sam Elliott) to get to Ava. Though Raylan was tempted to pull his gun, he decided to arrest Boyd instead. After an intense shootout with Boon (Jonathan Tucker) left him wounded, Raylan was unable to stop Ava from escaping.

In the four year jump, Raylan is a happily divorced father taking care of his daughter. Knowing Ava is raising Boyd's son, Raylan promised to keep her secret and falsified her death. In prison, Boyd and Raylan realized they are still best friends, ever since they dug coal together.

According to TV Line, Justified takes the lead with 5 nominations at the fifth annual Critics' Choice Television Awards. Not only has the cast been nominated for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, the show itself earned a Best Drama Series nomination. Elliot has also been nominated for Guest Performer In A Drama Series.

Goggins has also been nominated for his guest-starring work on the final season of Sons of Anarchy.
