The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA) will announce the the 21st Annual Critics’ Choice Awards nominees  on December 14 and we will bring you the full list of nominees, so bookmark this page as we will be updating this post with the full list of nominees as they are announced.

TJ Miller will be hosting the Awards ceremonies this year which will be held on January 17, 2016 at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica California and aired lived on A&E, Lifetime and LMN at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT.   The program will be expanded to a three-hour event, following a live one-hour red carpet pre-show coverage.

For the first year since the awards, both film and television will be awarded at the same time and same ceremony.   In the past awards for film occurred in January whereas awards for Television occurred in May.   This year television entries must have episodes that have completed and aired between June 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015.   For many shows that would mean submissions would come from the current season, or for summer shows, this past summer.

“We are thrilled to bring the two Critics’ Choice Awards shows into one super-show,” said President Joey Berlin during a breakfast reception at the W Hotel in Hollywood. “Bringing all these stars together in one room is going to create an incredible night of entertainment.”

Combining the two mediums will not in any way eliminate any categories, according to Berlin. “Members will make all the nominations and vote for all the winners in the same categories as we have in the past,” he explained. “And we’ll be presenting all the major film and television categories live on air in one glamorous and star-studded TV special.”

The combination of film and television have made some questions raise as to the comparison of the Critics’ Choice Awards to the Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globe Awards.   Berlin justified the combination with, “our voters are perhaps less star-struck and a bit savvier than our foreign peers. While the Globes have long been the party of the year, we believe the Critics’ Choice Awards are a little smarter, a little more in touch with American and Canadian tastes, and ultimately more useful to the viewers and ticket buyers.”

Here is a schedule of what is yet to come before the Awards ceremony on January 17:

December 14, 2015 – Critics’ Choice Awards nominees announced

January 13, 2016 – Final ballots go out to the BTJA/ members

January 14, 2016 – Deadline for returning final ballots

January 17 2016 – Live Red Carpet event and Awards Ceremony airing on A&E, Lifetime and LMN.

The BFCA is comprised of approximately 300 members and the BTJA approximately 100 members who will be eligible to vote.

Congratulations to all of the nominees!
