The Critics Choice Awards honor the best movies and TV shows each year. They are voted on by over 600 critics from radio, TV, and websites in the U.S. and Canada. The awards pick many of the same movies and shows that later win Oscars. So they are a big deal!
This year, popular movies like “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” got nominated over 10 times each. Great TV shows like “The Morning Show” and “Succession” also got picked. The Critics Choice Awards also give awards that the Oscars don’t, like for Best Kid Actor or the SeeHer Award.
The awards show happens on January 15th this year. It takes place in a big hangar in Santa Monica, California. The actor and comedian Chelsea Handler will host the event on channel CW. It will air from 7 pm to 10 pm Eastern Time. So tune in to see Hollywood’s biggest stars win awards!
