The tiding is turning.
After that anemic list of presenters from the Golden Globes this week, the Critics Choice Awards — January 15th on the CW Network — have outgunned them with celebrities.
Big names include Michelle Pfeiffer, who will take the stage to honor Jeff Bridges with the Lifetime Achievement Award, while Kate Hudson will present the SeeHer Award to Janelle Monáe.
Additional presenters include Benjamin Bratt, Quinta Brunson, Cedric the Entertainer, Misha Collins, Claire Danes, Phoebe Dynevor, Ayo Edebiri, Eve Hewson, Jude Hill, Tyler Hoechlin, Sharon Horgan, Sarah Hyland, Troy Kotsur, Diego Luna, Natasha Lyonne, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Aubrey Plaza, Jean Smart, Anya Taylor-Joy, Miles Teller, Elizabeth Tulloch, Kerry Washington, Jeremy Allen White, and more.
The public feeling about the Globes is palpable. There dozens of articles asking why they’re back at all. Meantime, even BAFTA — the British Academy — has moved its all star afternoon tea to the day before the CCAs instead of the Globes. That’s a big deal. And the American Film Institute has moved its nominees lunch also to the CCA weekend, bypassing association with the Globes.
