With nearly 600 members, the Critics Choice Association (CCA) is the largest group of entertainment journalists in the U.S. and Canada. But before you roll your eyes at a televised awards ceremony based in the judgement of a bunch of schlubby scribes, know this: The Critics Choice Awards is historically the most accurate predictor of Academy Award nominations, which makes its assessments of cinematic and television achievement of particular note to those who follow splashier races like the Oscars and tomorrow night’s Emmy Awards.
Nominations were announced in December, and voting ended Friday for this year’s awards, which will be announced on January 14, 2024. The awards ceremony will air live for viewers in the Eastern time zone from 7-10 p.m. on the CW, but will be tape delayed most other places. One exception is Los Angeles, where local CW affiliate KTLA-5 will broadcast live from Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar; the station will also air red carpet arrivals starting at 2 p.m. PT.
In addition to host Chelsea Handler, who returns for her second year in the role, folks on that carpet include Harrison Ford, who’ll be presented with this year’s Career Achievement Award by director James Mangold. Margot Robbie will also be on stage to present America Ferrera with the gender equity-focused SeeHer Award; other presenters include Angela Bassett, Daniel Levy, Natasha Lyonne, and Oprah Winfrey.
Even before the awards began, the CCA named some of the nights winners from the red carpet. The Holdovers‘ Dominic Sessa was named the year’s Best Young Actor/Actress, Quiz Lady was named 2024’s Best Movie Made for Television, and Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse took home the Best Animated Feature award.
Below, find a complete list of Critics Choice Awards 2024 nominations with their winners in bold; it will be updated throughout the evening. We also have coverage of the red carpet’s best fashion and looks.
