Following a pattern that is very clearly emerging now, the Critics’ Choice Awards is adjusting its dates to reflect changes the Motion Picture Academy announced earlier this week for Oscar season. The Critics’ Choice Awards for Movies and Television will now take place at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, and again be hosted by Taye Diggs airing on the CW Network Sunday March 7.

TV eligibility remains solely for programs first seen in 2020 only. Previously other Oscar precursor events such as BAFTA, The Independent Spirits, and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival have also been moved back in light of Oscar’s move to April 25, 2021. A similar move to a later date is still expected to come from various guilds including SAG for their awards.
