The winners of the 30th Critics Choice Awards (CCA), representing the best in film and television for 2024, will be announced on Friday, February 7th from the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport in Santa Monica, California. Voting took place at the beginning of January and ended only a few days after the Golden Globe Awards. Much has changed since then including the LA Fires, the “Emilia Pérez” controversies and more. However, when thinking through our predictions, we needed to place ourselves back in the headspace of voters before any of this happened. It should make for an interesting show tomorrow night on E! Please take a look at some members of Next Best Picture’s predictions and stay tuned for the show tomorrow!
Predictions are provided by: Alyssa Christian, Cody Dericks, Dan Bayer, Daniel Howat, Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Matt Neglia, Nadia Dalimonte & Will Mavity
