The past few weeks have been an enormously challenging time for us all. The wildfires have profoundly touched our lives and I sincerely hope you and your loved ones are safe and sound.
We gather here today for many important reasons – to honor the amazing firefighters and first responders who literally saved our city, to highlight the creative efforts of our entertainment industry as it still continues to lead the world in storytelling, both for film and television, and of course, to thank our members of the Critics Choice Association who support that creative effort.
Today’s show focuses on our strength and resilience, along with our collective talent and creativity as we move forward together on the long and winding road to rebuilding our communities.
So many of you have already opened up your hearts (and your wallets) to help your neighbors and I personally ask you to consider donating to CCA’s Habitat for Humanity Rebuild LA fundraising initiative as part of our continuing commitment towards our collective recovery.
Join me today as we show the world that Los Angeles is indeed Strong and Grateful.
Sincerely,
David J. Freedman Executive Vice President and Producer
The Critics Choice Association
The Critics Choice Association would like to thank our host
