We're in the middle of Awards Season.

After originally being set for Monday January 13 (Sunday January 12 in the US), the Annual Critics Choice Awards were postponed to later in January and pushed back a second time, again due to the January 2025 Southern California wildfires.

The ceremony is now set to be held on Saturday February 8.
