We’ve already heard from the Golden Globes voters, and now it’s time to check on the critics’ pulse on the road to the 2025 Oscars.

The Critics Choice Awards are back with another evening full of stars, speeches, and probably a few upsets. The show was originally scheduled to take place on Sunday, Jan. 12, but was delayed due to the Los Angeles wildfires.

Comedian Chelsea Handler is returning for her third stint as host, delivering withering one-liners about all the year’s most fêted projects and entertainers, from Demi Moore and Timothée Chalamet to Anora and Hacks.

Heading into the ceremony, the splashy screen adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked tied the papal succession drama Conclave for the most nominations in the film categories, with 11 apiece. On the TV side, the FX historical epic Shōgun, which took home the most trophies at the Golden Globes, led the pack with six Critics Choice nods.

The festivities are airing live on E! from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif., and the show will also be available to stream Saturday on Peacock.
