Critics Choice Awards

The Critics Choice Awards is a prestigious event that honors the finest achievements in film and television. Adopting a broad perspective, the general purpose is to recognize and celebrate cinematic and television standards which have notably influenced America's vibrant entertainment industry.

Born out of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA), the Critics Choice Awards was established in 1995. Since its inception, the awards have gained significant recognition for their accurate predictions of future Oscar winners, further enhancing their esteem within the entertainment world.

The Critics Choice Awards affords a nuanced appreciation of the arts, including diverse categories such as acting, directing, and cinematography, as well as best comedy, action movie, and animated feature, to accurately reflect the richness of the film industry. The ceremony traditionally takes place annually in January in Santa Monica, California, and is broadcasted live on The CW network, providing a glamorous and exciting start to the awards season for movie and television enthusiasts nationwide.
