The awards season has already begun, and for many, it’s their favorite time of the year, as celebrities, artists, filmmakers, and producers come together in one place to receive new accolades (providing the audience with some iconic moments and unexpected crossovers).
The Golden Globes have already passed, and now it’s time for the Critics Choice Awards 2024. The ceremony not only honors various titles in both film and television but also has its own unique categories, such as the Best Young Performer, whose last winner was Gabriel LaBelle for The Fabelmans.
The red carpet and the chosen host are two of the most important factors. This year won’t be much different from the previous edition, as the host will remain the same, and we’re talking about one of the most well-known comedians in the industry, who had her own talk show for a long time.
Who will host the Critics Choice Awards 2024?
After a period of mystery, the organization behind the Critics Choice Awards has revealed who will host the 29th edition. It is none other than the celebrity who hosted the ceremony last year: the 48-year-old comedian and host, Chelsea Handler.
The also actress and writer born in Livingston, New Jersey, will be responsible for entertaining the viewers, presenting the ceremony, and amusing the celebrities as they await their recognitions. This time, the event will take place on January 14, just a few days away.
It is the only critics’ group with a live television broadcast, and, of course, it can be streamed. As expected, the host will introduce the presenters and make the evening more enjoyable. “Barbie” is the movie leading in categories, so it’s likely there will be several jokes about it.
How many times has Chelsea Handler hosted the CCA?
It’s clear that this is not the first time Chelsea Handler has hosted an awards show, and certainly not the first time for the Critics Choice Awards. She also served as the host last year and was a favorite for many, while other comedians have been criticized for their attempts at humor during various award events.
Who have been the most remembered hosts of the CCA?
Whenever a host is announced, many recall some of the best moments from different hosts within the program. The awards ceremony has had various hosts over the years, but three of the most iconic ones have been:
- T.J. Miller: Hosted the Critics’ Choice Awards in 2016.
- Olivia Munn and Niecy Nash: Co-hosted the ceremony in 2016 and were well-received for their chemistry and humor.
- Joey Berlin: The president of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) has been a recurring host and played a significant role in the event.
