The 31st Critics Choice Awards are officially set for January 4, 2026, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. The annual ceremony will celebrate the finest work in both film and television released in 2025, continuing its tradition as one of Hollywood’s most influential awards shows.
The Barker Hangar, located at the Santa Monica Airport, has become a familiar venue for major entertainment events. Known for its spacious layout and ability to host large-scale productions, the hangar provides a glamorous yet versatile setting for the Critics Choice Awards.
The Critics Choice Awards are widely regarded as a key indicator of awards season momentum. With voting conducted by the Critics Choice Association, the ceremony often mirrors trends that later shape the Academy Awards and Emmy Awards.
As one of the first major ceremonies of the year, the Critics Choice Awards set the tone for Hollywood’s awards season. Recognition at this event can boost a film or series’ visibility, influence box office performance, and strengthen campaigns for upcoming Oscar and Emmy nominations.
The ceremony will feature red carpet arrivals, live performances, and presentations by leading actors and filmmakers. With anticipation building, the Critics Choice Awards are expected to spotlight the standout projects of 2025 while shaping the narrative for the rest of awards season.
