\u201cThe Critics’ Choice Awards\u201d are bestowed annually by the BFCA and BTJA to honor the finest in cinematic and television achievement. The BFCA is the largest film critics’ organization in the United States and Canada, representing more than 300 television, radio and online critics. BFCA members are the primary source of information for today’s film-going public. BTJA is the collective voice of almost 100 journalists who regularly cover television for TV viewers, radio listeners and online audiences. Historically, the \u201cCritics’ Choice Awards\u201d are the most accurate predictor of the Academy Award nominations.<\/p>\n

A&E Networks partnered with the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA) to become the exclusive home to the 2015 \u201cCritics’ Choice Movie Awards\u201d and \u201cCritics’ Choice Television Awards.\u201d That partnership continues in 2016, with the newly formatted three-hour ceremony that brings together both sets of accolades, and for years to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 21st Annual Critics\u2019 Choice Awards\u201d will be produced by Bob Bain Productions and Berlin Entertainment. BFCA\/BTJA are represented by WME and Dan Black of Greenberg Traurig.<\/p>\n
