The Critics' Choice Movie Awards (formerly known as the Broadcast Film
Critics Association Award) is an awards show presented annually by the
American-Canadian Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) to honor
the finest in cinematic achievement. Written ballots are submitted
during a week-long nominating period, and the resulting nominees are
announced in December. The winners chosen by subsequent voting are
revealed at the annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards ceremony in
January. Additionally, special awards are given out at the discretion
of the BFCA Board of Directors.The awards were originally named simply
Critics' Choice Awards. In 2010, the word Movie was added to their
name, to differentiate them from the Critics' Choice Television
Awards, which were first bestowed the following year by the newly
created Broadcast Television Critics Association. The name Critics'
Choice Awards now officially refers to both sets of awards
collectively.From 2006 through 2009, the awards ceremony was held in
the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. From 2010 through 2012, it took
place in the refurbished, historic Hollywood Palladium. Broadcasting
the ceremony began with the sixth ceremony on E! Entertainment
Television in 2001 for four years, followed by The WB Network for two
years, before returning to E! for a year. VH1 took over the broadcast
in 2008. The live television broadcast of the event moved from VH1 to
The CW in 2013, with the 19th ceremony airing on January 16, 2014,
live from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. In October
2014, it was announced that the Critics' Choice Movie Awards would
move to A&E for 2015 and 2016.Note: A ceremony is generally referred
to by the year of release of the films that it honored, rather than
the year in which it was held.
