History
The first Critics Choice Awards ceremony was held in 1995. The awards were originally called the Critics Choice Awards. In 2010, the word "Movie" was added to their name to differentiate them from the Critics' Choice Television Awards, which were first awarded the following year by the newly created Broadcast Television Critics Association. The name Critics Choice Awards now officially refers to both sets of awards together.
