NomineesĀ are going to have to choose between which awards show to attend this March 13, as the COVID-delayed Critics Choice Awards (CCA)Ā has rescheduledĀ to the same date as theĀ British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) celebration.
The uptick in Omicron cases prompted the change.Ā
In a statement, CCA presidentĀ Joey BerlinĀ said, “We could have proceeded with our original January 9th date with limited attendance or switched to a virtual awards show like we did last year, but we decided to wait until we could safely gather in person and truly celebrate…”
BerlinĀ explained toĀ The Hollywood ReporterĀ of the conflict, “Our choice is to do a show on March 13 or not do a show.” He noted severalĀ issues with broadcasting windows and available venues in Los Angeles led them to the new date.
Berlin explained to the tradeĀ that organizers of the BAFTAs, “were really gracious” about the situation, and explained that due to the timezone difference, theĀ CCAs would stage a breakfast for L.A.-based BAFTA nomineesĀ so they can attend the UK-based awards show via satellite.
As previously reported,Ā Taye DiggsĀ andĀ Nicole ByerĀ will host the 27th Annual Critics Choice Awards liveĀ from the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles starting at 8 p.m. on CW and TBS.
BelfastĀ andĀ West Side StoryĀ lead this year’sĀ CriticsĀ ChoiceĀ Awards film contendersĀ with earned eleven nominations each;Ā HBO’sĀ SuccessionĀ leads theĀ pack on the TV side withĀ eight.
