The Critics Choice Association announced on Wednesday that it is postponing the 30th annual Critics Choice Awards ceremony originally scheduled for this Sunday, January 16. The organization cited the ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area as the reason for the change, with the awards now rescheduled to be held on Jan. 26.
A social media post announcing the change read: “The 30th annual Critics Choice Awards ceremony has been postponed from January 12th to January 26th due to the catastrophic fires ravaging Southern California. The rescheduled event will remain at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, and will broadcast live on E! and around the world. It will also be available on Peacock the next day.”
Leading the CCA film nominations with 11 each are Wicked and Conclave, followed by Dune: Part Two and Emilia Pérez with 10 each. On the television side, Shōgun leads the nominations, followed by Abbott Elementary, Disclaimer, Hacks, The Diplomat, The Penguin and What We Do in the Shadows.
Chelsea Handler will serve as the host of the Critics Choice Awards for the third year in a row, taking place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. E! will air the ceremony live, with Peacock streaming it beginning Jan. 27.
