The 2026 Critics Choice Award Nominations
"Next up is the Critics Choice Award nominations, ahead of a January 4 ceremony hosted by returnee Chelsea Handler. The CCAs award the films and TV shows that over 600 critics liked the very best. It's the place where a beloved critical darling like last year's Nickel Boys might gain enough steam to make it into the Best Picture race, despite not scoring nominations at the Hollywood-focused DGAs or Actor Awards (née SAG Awards), as happened last year."
