In 1996, the Critics Choice Film Awards was created. In 2000’s fifth year, the Critics Choice Film Awards became an accurate predictor of Oscar winners for 15 years. Its Best Picture winner has been matched by 12 Oscars in that time span. However, in the five years since 2000, it has only twice predicted the Oscar winner. “Nomadland”The following year was “The Shape of Water”In 2018, the Critics Choice Association was founded. “La La Land,” “Roma”And “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”While the Oscars opted to “Moonlight,” “Green Book”And “Parasite.”
The Critics Choice Awards and Oscars share 17 categories, but the winners reached agreement in only 10 of them last year.
The Critics Choice Association is the award-presenting organization.

Critics Choice Movie Awards & Critics Choice Television Awards were combined to create one show that featured 41 categories.
