Update: The Critics Choice Awards announced Friday that the new date for its 30th annual ceremony will now take place on Feb. 7.
Hosted by Chelsea Handler, the awards will broadcast live on E! on Friday, Feb. 7 7–10 p.m. ET/PT from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. The show will also be available to stream the next day on Peacock. There will no longer be a “Live from E!: Critics Choice Awards” two-hour red carpet special ahead of the telecast.
Original story: The Critics Choice Awards delayed their 30th annual ceremony for a second time on Tuesday, TheWrap has learned.
The move comes amid the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires and nearly one week since the first delay was announced. A date for the ceremony will be confirmed later, according to an individual with knowledge of the situation.
On Jan. 8, the Critics Choice Awards delayed its 30th ceremony due to the wildfires in the spreading Pacific Palisades and Altadena. Originally scheduled for Jan. 12, the ceremony was pushed to Jan. 26.
At the time, the rescheduled event was set to remain at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, and was expected to broadcast live on E! before being made available to stream on Peacock the next day. Location and broadcast details were not immediately available in the awards’ second delay.
“This unfolding tragedy has already had a profound impact on our community,” CCA CEO Joey Berlin said Jan. 8 of the unfolding catastrophe of the wildfires. “All our thoughts and prayers are with those battling the devastating fires and with all who have been affected.”
