8:00 pm eastern time will be the moment the first televised awards show of the season will kick off, the Critics Choice Movie Awards hosted by the Broadcast Film Critics Association, which I am a proud member.
With nominations announced earlier today for the Academy Awards, especially the absence of many contenders like Ben Affleck, Kathryn Bigelow, and Tom Hooper, who are all nominated tonight, a film should build some serious momentum from here until Sunday at the Golden Globe Awards.
My predictions for how tonight will go is listed below with an arrow pointing to where my vote was placed on Monday. The show will air at 8:00 pm Eastern Time on the CW! Bold means predicted winner.

Argo
Beasts of the Southern Wild

As a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the International Press Academy, both of which host the Critic Choice Awards and Satellite Awards respectively, screeners and gift bundles come by the dozens beginning in October. I know before I ventured off on this journey in film criticism, I always wanted to see what people in the industry were receiving as they became available. This year, I attempt to do just that.

The Oscar race is beginning to formulate itself. As it stands the Academy Awards have positioned themselves to be the wildest of wild cards of the Oscar season. Since Oscar ballots are due January 3rd, the nominations will be one of many awards ceremonies coming down like wildfire.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards announce their nominee choices first beginning on December 10th. The Broadcast Film Critics Association will name their best of the year with the Critics Choice Movie Awards being announced the next day on December 11th. The Hollywood Foreign Press will follow-suit with their Golden Globe nominations on December 13th. Mark my words; those four days will likely be the most important and telling aspects of the awards season. If you start hearing the usual suspects, back-to-back and over and over, Oscar will be referring to these groups for citations for their own nominees when they’re announced on January 10th.
