Jeff Bayer's Official Ballot for The 23rd Annual Critics' Choice Awards
I am a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA), which means I vote for the 23nd Annual Critics’ Choice Awards. The winners will be revealed live from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica on CW on Thursday, January at 8PM ET (delayed PT). Olivia Munn will host. I will be bringing my mom for the first time this year, so there is a good chance I'll have something during the show. Follow along on Twitter -- @bayerjeff.
