For 2024, “Wicked” and “Conclave” both led the pack with 11 nominations each across acting and production categories.
Chelsea Handler will host the 30th annual Critics Choice Awards ceremony, which will broadcast LIVE on E! on Sunday, January 12th from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. It’ll be available to stream next day on Peacock.
