The Celebration of Cinema and Television is an awards ceremony presented annually by the American–Canadian Critics Choice Association (CCA). The first ceremony was named Celebration of Black Cinema and Television to honor the finest in cinematic and television achievement by African Americans directors, producers, actors and musicians. Between 2021 and 2022 CCA has organized the Celebration of Latino Cinema and Television and the Celebration of Asian Pacific Cinema and Television, equivalent to the previous awards show, aimed to honor Latino, Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans communities.[1][2]

In 2023 the ceremonies were joined to Celebration of Cinema and Television: Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements, to celebrate the four communities in one special awards show.[3]

History[edit]

In 2013 the Broadcast Film Critics Association partnered with TV One for a television special Celebration of Black Cinema at House of Blues to "expose the creativity and profitability of black cinema".[4] The event was taken on January 7, 2014 and aired on television in February 2014, before the Critics' Choice Movie Awards.[5]

In 2018 the Broadcast Film Critics Association established the Celebration of Black Cinema as an award ceremony with special honors and achievements for black cinema. Since 2022 the ceremony has extended to television. In 2021 the association innaugurated the Celebration of Latino Cinema and Television.[6] In 2022 the association launched the Celebration of Asian Pacific Cinema and television, to recognized "the outstanding talent from the Asian American Pacific Islander community".[7][2]

In 2023 the association organized a special event named Celebration of Cinema and Television: Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements, which aimed to join the two ceremonies in one special awards show.[8] On November 13, 2023 CCA CEO Joey Berlin announced that the ceremonies will return to individual shows in 2024.[9]
