Greta Gerwig's Barbie leads this year's nominations
Hollywood's awards season is well and truly underway. After last weekend's Golden Globes, the spotlight is on the 29th annual Critics Choice Awards, which will see the biggest film stars in Tinseltown hit the red carpet at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on Sunday for a chance to pick up one of those coveted trophies.
Keep reading for all you need to know about this year's ceremony, including how to watch it, who is nominated, and who will be hosting the show.
How to watch the Critics Choice Awards and timings of the show
The three-hour ceremony kicks off at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on the East Coast and in Los Angeles on The CW.
Los Angeles' CW affiliate, KTLA-5, will also host a red carpet show which begins at 2 p.m. PT.
Viewers can also stream the ceremony on platforms including Hulu+, DirecTV Stream, Sling TV and Fubo TV.
Who is hosting this year's awards?
For the second year running, comedian Chelsea Handler will host the ceremony.
The actress is perhaps best known for her stand-up career, as well as for her late-night chat show, .
On returning as host, the 48-year-old said in a statement: "I am very happy and excited to be hosting the Critics Choice Awards again this year, as last year was one of the most fun nights I’ve had.
"There is no greater reward than making fun of actors and then getting drunk with them afterward. It’s an honor."

The full list of Critics Choice nominees
Leading the nominations this year is Greta Gerwig's, which is competing in 18 categories, including Best Picture, Best Director (Greta Gerwig), Best Actress (Margot Robbie), and Best Supporting Actor (Ryan Gosling).
Bringing up the rear are Christopher Nolan's and Yorgos Lanthimos' , both of which earned 13 nominations, with Martin Scorsese's trailing closely behind.
It's going to be a tough competition this year, but after last weekend's Golden Globes, we predict Oppenheimer will win big once again.
