COVID Scuttles Critics Choice Awards After Taking Governors Awards and New York Film Critics

Share

Now the Critics Choice Awards are scuttled because of COVID.  Here’s the announcement:

“After thoughtful consideration and candid conversations with our partners at The CW and TBS, we have collectively come to the conclusion that the prudent and responsible decision at this point is to postpone the 27th Annual Critics Choice Awards, originally slated for January 9, 2022.   We are in regular communication with LA County Public Health officials, and we are currently working diligently to find a new date during the upcoming awards season in which to host our annual gala in-person with everyone’s safety and health remaining our top priority.  We will be sharing additional   details with our friends and colleagues throughout the entertainment industry as soon as we can.”

 

Editor’s Note: I am sick of COVID and the Cron. If you’re not vaccinated or boosted, do it now. Or do not expect to be accepted into society.
