The Critics Choice Awards are well-known to the public not just for the fact that they are broadcast on national television (January 8 on VH1) but also because they are considered among the most reliable indicators for the Oscars. "Since the Critics' Choice began announcing nominees in 2005 (instead of just winners, as it had previously), every Academy Award winner in a major category has been nominated for a Critics' Choice," according to a report in indieWIRE. "Last year, all five eventual best picture Oscar nominees were listed in the BFCA's top ten, and No Country For Old Men went on to sweep the winners, including best picture, director and supporting actor Javier Bardem."
The Broadcast Film Critics Association is the largest film critics organization in the United States and Canada, representing 199 television, radio and online critics. The very first opinion a moviegoer hears about new releases at the multiplex or the art house often comes from one of their members.
