After having The CW as their television home for the past few years, the Critics Choice Awards will instead be teaming up with E! and Peacock for the 30th Annual ceremony honoring the best in movies and television taking place on Sunday January 12, 2024 from 7:00pm to 10:00pm ET/PT at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.
E! will be handling the live ceremony which will then stream beginning the next day on Peacock. Additionally, E! will air a one hour red carpet pre-show ahead of the telecast from 6:00-7:00 pm ET / PT. Comedian, television host, six-time New York Times best-selling author and advocate Chelsea Handler will return as host for the third consecutive year.
“We’re thrilled to be working with E! to present our landmark 30th annual Critics Choice Awards,” said CCA CEO Joey Berlin. “With the incredible Chelsea Handler returning as our host, we know this special 30th anniversary show is going to be our biggest and best show yet, and we couldn’t be more excited to be airing the show live on E! and available to stream on Peacock next day.”
“E!’s longstanding tradition being part of many of Hollywood’s biggest nights celebrating achievements across all of pop culture makes it the perfect home for the Critics Choice Awards,” said Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Live Events and Specials, NBCUniversal Entertainment. “With Chelsea returning to E! as host of the telecast, this award show will be one of the most anticipated events of the season, and we look forward to partnering with the CCA in honoring Hollywood’s biggest stars across film and television.”
“Returning for the third year to host the Critics Choice Awards has been made even sweeter knowing it will now air on E!,” said Chelsea Handler. “I feel like I’m returning to my birthplace.”
