2018 Critics’ Choice Television Awards Proposition Betting Odds
–The 2018 Critics’ Choice Television Awards will take place on Thursday, January 11, 2018
–2018 will be the 23rd Critics’ Choice Television Awards
–The award winners are selected by members of the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA)
The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA) will jointly present 23rd Annual Critics’ Choice Awards. As the combined groups suggest, they cover both film and television in this ceremony and we’ll have separate odds rundowns for each. We hit the movie award odds a couple of days back and the TV awards after that. In their press release announcing the nominees for the awards the BFCA claims that “The Critics’ Choice Awards” are “historically, the “Critics’ Choice Awards” are the most accurate predictor of the Academy Award nominations”. I have no idea if that is true or not though I might come up with some proposition odds on it.
The Critics’ Choice Awards are held annually by the BFCA and BTJA to honor ‘the finest in cinematic and television achievement’. The BFCA is the largest film critics’ organization in the United States and Canada, representing more than 300 television, radio and online critics. BFCA members are the primary source of information for today’s film-going public. BTJA is the collective voice of journalists who regularly cover television for TV viewers, radio listeners and online audiences. Keep this membership in mind going forward–critics groups usually don’t have the same sort of insider politics at play in their balloting process that the Academy does in voting for the Oscars.
A FEW NETWORKS DOMINATE
Everyone ‘gets a prize’ in the form of a nomination but only a few networks dominate the television awards. Netflix, HBO and FX combine for 48 nominations. The critics still feel the need to throw a bone to broadcast TV–ABC has 12, NBC has 11 and CBS 4. The top six networks (Netflix, HBO, FX, ABC, NBC and Amazon) combine for 77 total nominations with the remaining 21 networks combining for 44 nominations. Here’s the full rundown:
Netflix – 20
HBO – 15
FX – 13
ABC – 12
NBC – 11
Amazon – 6
A&E – 4
CBS – 4
