VH1 Gets the Critics’ Choice Awards
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007Can you handle yet another awards show? Well, VH1 hopes you can. The television station has just inked a three year deal with the Critics’ Choice Awards to air their yearly awards ceremony. Instead of taping and editing the show as the WB and E! Channel have done in the past, the awards will air live on VH1. Next year’s show will air on January 7, 2008 in Santa Monica, CA.
For those of you not familiar with the CCA, Reuter’s describes it as such:
The Critics’ Choice Awards, founded in 1995, annually honors achievements in filmmaking and is touted as the first major awards show of the season. The BFCA claims that it consistently picks nominees and winners that go on to garner more Oscar nominations and wins than any other of the movie awards shows, last year picking 30 of the 35 nominees and six of the Oscar winners in the top seven categories, including best picture, acting, directing and writing. The show also is attended by a range of high-profile talent.
VH1 is hoping to expand the show by including elements on VH1.com and also Mobile alerts. The goal is to keep the awards show fresh on the minds of viewers year-round.
