Awards Season has launched for 2024! The VIP invitation only event was held at the world class hotel, The Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills, on Friday and Saturday, January 12 and 13, 2024. The glitterati enjoyed the full regale hosted by POOPH’s Critics’ Choice Luxury Lounge, presented by LA Smiles Dentistry and GBK Brand Bar hosted the best and brightest in Film & Television.  This included the nominees, winners, and presenters of not just the Critics’ Choice Awards, but also the Golden Globe Awards, The Emmy® Awards, and OSCARS.

The 29th Critics Choice Awards was another of the big Hollywood celebrations this season, with celebrities and creators being recognized as “the finest in cinematic and television achievement.” What makes this show even more exciting is that it is historically known as the “most accurate predictor of Academy Award nominations,” which will be announced about a week after the Critics Choice Awards.

Traditionally, the VIP Red Carpet Gifting Suites honor the nominees with a cornucopia of gifts and goodies galore. Gifting suites are known for offering a range of products and services to attendees, often including fashion items, beauty products, electronics, and more. Celebrities and VIPs attending these suites may receive complimentary items from participating brands.
