2026 Critics Choice Awards Winners List ...Middle East

The 2026 Critics Choice Awards are officially kicked off another awards season on Sunday, January 4.

Chelsea Handler returned as Critics Choice Awards host for the fourth year in a row, noting in a November 2025 statement, “Kicking off the year with the Critics Choice Awards feels right — nothing says ‘new beginnings’ like a room full of critics ready to tell you how you did last year.”

In a statement of his own, Critics Choice Association CEO Joey Berlin called Handler, 50, “the best awards show host in the world” and “the perfect person to lead the parade” of celebrating Hollywood’s finest in film and TV.

Though no new decisions were made in regards to the show’s host, the CCA did add a handful of new categories for the 2026 ceremony, including Best Variety Series, Best Stunt Design and Best Casting and Ensemble.
