The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) has announced that Emmy and Tony Award winning actress Kristin Chenoweth will be taking the stage as host for the 15th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards gala on Friday, January 15, 2010 at the Hollywood Palladium…
“We are delighted to have a triple threat such as Kristin Chenoweth, a multiple award-wining star of the stage, film and television as host for our show,” said Tom Calderone, President of VH1. “Kristin is hugely talented with broad appeal and will bring a tremendous energy to the live ceremony.”
The 15th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards gala will air live for the third straight year on VH1 on Friday, January 15, 2010 at 9:00 PM*. The awards are bestowed annually by the BFCA to honor the finest in cinematic achievement. Since its inception in 1995, the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards has been a star-studded bellwether event of the awards season and historically, the most accurate predictor of the Academy Award nominations.
Our ballots are due Saturday, by the way. Nominees will be announce December 14.

So, it’s unlikely many BFCA voters will get the chance to see Avatar, right?
I mean, before ballots are due.
Maybe. I know a lot have already voted. Not everyone is as diligent as some of us.
Are there any other films we can expect to miss since either they haven’t screened or for very few?
My wife loves her, so she will be happy with this…
I approve. She’s bubbly and makes me happy.
Who is she?
@ Jonathan Spuij
she’s one of the most talented theater actresses out there and won a well-deserved Emmy for her performance in Pushing Daisies, the best show no one ever saw.
I expect a musical number during the broadcast of the show.
@Mr. F: Well, yeah, if they have Kristin Chenoweth and she doesn’t sing, it’s kind of a waste. Like having Neil Patrick Harris host the Tonys and not giving him a song until the very end.
But yeah, I approve.
She’s hosted the Drama Desk Awards before too, here’s her opening monologue:
