The Critics Choice Awards are an annual awards ceremony presented by the American Critics Choice Association (CCA) to honor excellence in cinematic and television achievement. Originally known as the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award, the event's name was expanded to include "Movie" in 2010 to differentiate it from the Critics' Choice Television Awards, with "Critics' Choice Awards" now officially referring to the combined ceremony. The awards are historically considered a significant predictor of Academy Award nominations. The 31st annual Critics Choice Awards are scheduled to be broadcast live on E! and USA on Sunday, January 4, 2026.
