Welcome back, awards season! Hollywood’s biggest stars are gearing up to mingle at the 28th annual Critics’ Choice Awards, held at Los Angeles’ Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel.
Chelsea Handler is set to host the show, airing live on The CW Sunday, January 15. “We are thrilled to have Chelsea Handler joining us at the 28th annual Critics Choice Awards,” Critics Choice Association CEO Joey Berlin said in a statement to multiple outlets. “We all know and love her work as a standup comedian, a best-selling author, a podcast host, and actress — and now as host of the Critics’ Choice Awards! I know this will be the best year yet and can’t wait for everyone to see what we have in store.”
The ceremony will honor the best films and television programs of the last year, selected by the more than 600 members who make up the CCA.
“We are so proud to be recognizing this incredible group of films and the people who made them possible,” said Berlin. “This recognition comes from a diverse group of more than 600 critics and entertainment reporters who share their opinions about film and television with millions of people every day, all year long. Our collective opinion about the year’s finest achievements is truly meaningful to the creative community.”
Leading the pack of this year’s recognized works is the comedy-drama Everything Everywhere All at Once. The absurdist film earned 14 nominations including Best Picture, Best Actress (Michelle Yeoh) and Best Director and Best Original Screenplay nods for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.
Other movies up for the Best Picture distinction include Avatar: The Way of Water, Babylon, The Banshees of Inisherin, Elvis, The Fablemans, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, RRR, Tár, Top Gun: Maverick and Women
A rising star! Stephanie Hsu earned her first Oscar nomination for her performance in the 2022 comedy-drama Everything Everywhere All at Once.
The Oscar nominations revealed Tuesday did not include any female directors, extending a trend that across this season’s awards landscape. It means the modest streak of women winning the Directing Oscar will end at two, after back-to-back wins the past two years with Jane Campion (The Power of the Dog) in 2022 and Chloé Zhao (Nomadland) in 2021.
It’s a party in the U.K.! The music industry’s biggest names will brush shoulders at the 2023 Brit Awards, held at The O2 in London.
With the lively, fun and star-packed Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night at the Fairmont Century Plaza ballroom (and accompanying viewing party upstairs that elegantly handled the 300 members and guests who lost the organization’s ticket lottery and couldn’t get a seat) now history, there is really nothing between it and the January 24 announcement of Oscar nominations. With the nationally televised show airing 48 hours before Oscar balloting closes (Tuesday at 5 p.m. PT) though, its influence could be strong, especially for moving speeches from the likes of Brendan Fraser; an impressive sweep of top categories Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, Supporting Actor (Ke Huy Quan becoming the runaway train of acting winners thus far this season) for Everything Everywhere All At Once; and among other memorable moments, the great Guillermo del Toro looking to continue sweeping up every animated trophy in sight.
Glam, Bam! The 28th Critics’ Choice Awards took place on Sunday, January 15, at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel in Los Angeles and the red carpet did not disappoint. See every look here!

A designer disaster! Amanda Seyfried suffered a wardrobe malfunction at the 2023 Critics’ Choice Awards.
Is there a televised award that means less to people in Hollywood than a Golden Globe? The People’s Choice Award, sure, but that at least has fan voting behind it. The “and I’m telling you I’m not going” award is the Critics Choice Awards which barely kept its deal with The CW to air the 2023 proceedings.
