75th Primetime Emmy Awards

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards will be hosted by actor and comedian Anthony Anderson, known for his role in the hit series "Black-ish". With an impressive 27 nominations, including 14 acting nods, "Succession" has emerged as the frontrunner for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, tying its own record from the previous year. The series has also achieved a historic feat, becoming the first to receive three nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Initially scheduled for September 2023, the 75th Emmy Awards faced delays due to Hollywood strikes. The ceremony will take place on January 16 at 9 AM (PHT), LIVE and exclusive on Lionsgate Play on PLDT Home in the Philippines.

29th Critics Choice Awards

Meanwhile, the hilarious Chelsea Handler will host the 29th annual Critics Choice Awards. Leading the pack with a total of 18 nominations is the critically acclaimed film "Barbie", followed by Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" and Yorgos Lanthimos' "Poor Things", with 13 nominations each. The 29th Critics Choice Awards will take place on January 15 at 8 AM (PHT), LIVE and exclusive on Lionsgate Play on PLDT Home in the Philippines.
