The 30th Critics' Choice Awards were presented on February 7, 2025, at the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport in Santa Monica, California, honoring the finest achievements of filmmaking and television programming in 2024.
The ceremony was originally scheduled to be held on January 12, but was postponed twice due to the series of wildfires in Southern California. It was broadcast on E! and was made available to stream the next day on Peacock. Chelsea Handler returned as host for the third consecutive year.
Like in the previous four years, film and television nominations were announced separately. The television nominations were announced on December 5, 2024. The film nominations were announced on December 12, 2024.
Conclave and Wicked led the film nominations with eleven each, followed by Dune: Part Two and Emilia Pérez with ten apiece. Shōgun led the television nominations with six, followed by Abbott Elementary, The Diplomat, Disclaimer, Hacks, The Penguin, and What We Do in the Shadows with four each.
With its win, Anora became the first ever film in CCA history to win Best Picture as its only award.
