The celebrity-packed party was first slated to take place on Sunday, January 12, before being pushed to Sunday, January 26. The Critics Choice Awards, hosted by Chelsea Handler, are finally taking place at Barker Hangar in the outskirts of LA after twice being delayed due to the LA fires. But due to the venue's close proximity to the fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades, ceremony officials decided to push the show to February.
