The 29th Critics' Choice Awards Are Coming

The 2024 Critics Choice Awards, set to dazzle audiences on January 14, will be a night of cinematic and television triumphs. Hosted by Chelsea Handler at the iconic Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, this 29th annual event promises an unforgettable experience. The ceremony, airing live on The CW at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET, will kick off with a glamorous red carpet show on KTLA-5. This year’s venue shift to Santa Monica, prompted by a labor dispute at the original Los Angeles’ Fairmont Century Plaza, adds an unexpected twist to the prestigious event.

In a celebration of the year’s finest in film and TV, ‘Barbie’ leads with a staggering 18 nominations, closely followed by ‘Oppenheimer’ and ‘Poor Things’. The evening will not only be graced by top-tier presenters like Oprah Winfrey and John Krasinski but will also honor legends like Harrison Ford with the Lifetime Achievement Award and America Ferrera with the SeeHer Award, highlighting her impact on women’s representation in media. This star-studded event encapsulates the spirit of excellence and diversity in the entertainment industry.
