Ceremony Details And Broadcast Information
The 31st annual Critics Choice Awards ceremony takes place Sunday, January 4, at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.
Chelsea Handler returns as host for this combined film and television celebration, which airs live from 7-10 p.m. ET/PT across E! and USA Network—marking E!’s second consecutive year broadcasting the prestigious event.
As Netflix’s acquisition of Warner Bros. reshapes Hollywood’s landscape, these nominations provide the first glimpse of how the newly merged entity might dominate awards conversations for years to come.

Both films represent their respective countries’ official submissions for the International Feature Oscar race, making the split recognition particularly puzzling.

Ceremony Details And Broadcast Information
The 31st annual Critics Choice Awards ceremony takes place Sunday, January 4, at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.
Chelsea Handler returns as host for this combined film and television celebration, which airs live from 7-10 p.m. ET/PT across E! and USA Network—marking E!’s second consecutive year broadcasting the prestigious event.
As Netflix’s acquisition of Warner Bros. reshapes Hollywood’s landscape, these nominations provide the first glimpse of how the newly merged entity might dominate awards conversations for years to come.
Awards season just exploded into high gear.
The Critics Choice Association dropped its highly anticipated 2026 film and television nominations, and Warner Bros.’ Sinners emerged as the undisputed frontrunner with a staggering 17 nominations.
Ryan Coogler’s latest directorial effort earned recognition across major categories including Best Picture, Director, and Actor for star Michael B. Jordan—positioning itself as the film to beat heading into Oscar season.
But here’s where things get interesting: on the same day Netflix announced its blockbuster acquisition of Warner Bros., these two entertainment giants combined for exactly half of the Best Picture nominees, signaling a seismic shift in Hollywood’s power structure.
Warner Bros. Dominates With 36 Film Nominations
Warner Bros. didn’t just lead—it steamrolled competitors with 36 total film nominations.
Behind Sinners‘ impressive haul, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another secured 14 nominations, including Best Picture, Director, and Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio. Anderson’s period drama has already captured Best Film honors at both the Gotham Awards and New York Film Critics Circle, building serious Oscar momentum.
Netflix followed closely with 27 film nominations, powered by Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein (11 nominations) and three Best Picture contenders: Frankenstein, Jay Kelly, and Train Dreams.
Ten Films Battle For Best Picture Glory
The Best Picture race showcases remarkable diversity in storytelling and studio representation.

Universal rounds out nominees with Wicked: For Good, the highly anticipated sequel that continues dominating theatrical box office.
Foreign Film Category Creates Unexpected Controversy
One glaring omission raised eyebrows across industry circles.
Jafar Panahi’s It Was Just an Accident—which won the prestigious Palme d’Or at Cannes—failed to secure a Best Picture nomination despite appearing in the Foreign Language Film category. Meanwhile, Sentimental Value earned Best Picture recognition but was excluded from Foreign Language Film consideration.
Both films represent their respective countries’ official submissions for the International Feature Oscar race, making the split recognition particularly puzzling.
