Critics’ Choice Awards 2025 Postponed Due to California Wildfires

Critics Choice Awards 2025 Rescheduled Amid Los Angeles Fires

The Critics Choice Awards have been rescheduled for the third time due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles. The show was originally set to take place on January 14 at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, but it has now been pushed back to February 7.

Postponements Due to Wildfires

The decision to postpone the event comes after two previous postponements. Initially, the ceremony was scheduled for January 26, but it was pushed again due to the devastating fires raging across Los Angeles. The wildfires have already had a profound impact on the community, with thousands of people evacuated and many homes destroyed.

Thoughts and Prayers

In a statement, Critics Choice Association CEO Joey Berlin expressed his thoughts and prayers for those affected by the fires: “This unfolding tragedy has already had a profound impact on our community. All our thoughts and prayers are with those battling the devastating fires and with all who have been affected.”

Impacted Events

The Critics Choice Awards join a number of other Hollywood events that have been affected by the wildfires in recent days. The Oscars nominations announcement has been pushed back twice now, to January 23. Other events that have been canceled or postponed include premieres for Wolf Man and Unstoppable, as well as the annual BAFTA Tea Party and the AFI Awards.

New York Events Impacted

New York events have also been impacted by the wildfires, with several screenings and premieres canceled or postponed. The NYC premiere of Back in Action was canceled, and a tastemaker screening for Goosebumps: The Vanishing was postponed.

Date Change

The Critics Choice Awards will now take place on February 7 at the Barker Hangar. Chelsea Handler will be hosting the awards show for the third consecutive year, with Wicked, Conclave, and Shogun among the top nominees.
