The 23rd Annual Critics’ Choice Awards will be broadcast live on The CW network. The Critics’ Choice Awards are set for Thursday, January 11, 2018 at 8pm ET and will once again honor the best in films and television as selected by members of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA*) and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA*).
The celebrity-filled event will take place at The Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, CA.
“BFCA and BTJA are thrilled to be back on The CW, where many of our finest CCA shows were nurtured,” stated BFCA President Joey Berlin. “The CW is home to some of the best shows anywhere on broadcast television, and we’re looking forward to being back in their company for years to come. The Critics’ Choice Awards show has grown to be one of the most important and star-studded in Hollywood – and perhaps the most fun. We can’t wait to gather the brightest lights in film and television together again for what is sure to be a spectacular event on January 11.”
“We are delighted to welcome the Critics’ Choice Awards back to The CW, and showcase the best of both film and television during this live event in January,” said Gaye Hirsch, The CW’s head of development, who also oversees alternative and special programming. “As award season kicks into high gear, we’re thrilled we can bring viewers an exciting night filled with the biggest and brightest stars in Hollywood.”
