with Chelsea Handler at the Helm
Mark your calendars!
The 30th annual Critics' Choice Awards is gearing up to dazzle audiences live on E!
on Sunday, January 12, 2025.
This exciting announcement came from the Critics' Choice Association on October 10th, and fans of film and television are already buzzing with anticipation.
Returning as host for the third consecutive year is none other than Chelsea Handler, a comedian, television personality, and a six-time New York Times best-selling author.
Handler's enthusiasm is palpable as she prepares to take the stage once again.
“Returning for the third year to host the Critics' Choice Awards has been made even sweeter knowing it will now air on E!
I feel like I'm returning to my birthplace,” she remarked in a recent statement.
The venue for this star-studded event will be the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, a fitting backdrop for an evening celebrating the best in entertainment.
Handler's return promises to bring her signature humor and charm, making this awards show a must-watch.
Reflecting on last year's ceremony, it's clear that the previous Critics' Choice Awards were unforgettable.
Ryan Gosling's performance in the Barbie movie garnered him the Best Song award for his catchy hit, “I'm Just Ken.”
His win was a testament to the film's cultural impact and the creativity behind its music.
Another highlight from the previous event was America Ferrera's heartfelt acceptance of the eighth annual See Her Critics' Choice Award.
In her moving speech, she shared her personal journey as a first-generation Honduran American girl, expressing how meaningful it was to receive recognition for her contributions to more authentic portrayals of women and girls in media.
Ferrera's words struck a chord with many, as she articulated the struggles of growing up without seeing herself reflected in the stories she loved.
Her passion for storytelling and representation resonates deeply, reminding us all of the importance of diversity in the narratives we consume.
Looking ahead, the excitement continues to build as the nominations for this year's awards are set to be revealed soon.
