The 27th Critics Choice Awards, which will be broadcast worldwide, are shaping up to be the biggest ever. On February 16, 2022, the Critics Choice Association announced that their upcoming awards ceremony would be telecast live from events in London and Los Angeles.
In a lengthy statement, Joey Berlin, CEO of the Critics Choice Association, commented on the big night, saying,
“Over the last quarter-century, the influence of the Critics Choice Awards in the entertainment sector has increased enormously.” When the pandemic forced us to reschedule our performance date from January to the heart of awards season, we felt compelled to add a second stage in London to ensure that all of our honorees could participate in the live transmission. Two parties, two networks, two hosts – it’ll be a wild night on two continents.”
