EDDIE MURPHY TO BE HONORED WITH LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD AT 25TH ANNUAL CRITICS’ CHOICE AWARDS

GALA EVENT WILL AIR LIVE ON THE CW NETWORK SUNDAY, JANUARY 12, 2020 FROM THE BARKER HANGAR IN SANTA MONICA

(Los Angeles, CA – December 30, 2019) – The Critics Choice Association (CCA) announced today that film icon Eddie Murphy will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 25^th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards.  Murphy will be feted for his extraordinary roles over the years, most recently his brilliant portrayal of the legendary Rudy Ray Moore in Netflix’s Dolemite Is My Name, for which he is nominated for Best Actor.

The star-studded gala will once again be hosted by film, television, and stage star Taye Diggs, and broadcast live on The CW Television Network on Sunday, January 12, from 7:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET (delayed PT).  As previously announced, Kristen Bell will receive the fourth annual #SeeHer Award during the ceremony. 

Eddie Murphy is the most commercially successful African American actor in the history of the motion picture business and is one of the industry’s top-five box-office performers overall. Murphy is on the very short list of actors who have starred in multiple $100 million pictures over the past three decades, from Beverly Hills Cop to Daddy Day Care.  Some of his other most beloved hits include 48 Hours, Trading Places, Coming to America, Harlem Nights, The Distinguished Gentleman, Bowfinger, The Nutty Professor and Shrek.

Murphy can currently be seen portraying the legendary underground comic personality Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite Is My Name from Netflix and recently wrapped production on Coming 2 America, the long-anticipated sequel to the 1988 box office hit.

In 2007, Murphy received critical acclaim for his portrayal of James “Thunder” Early in the DreamWorks film Dreamgirls, a performance which would garner him the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor as well as earning him his first Academy Award® nomination in the same category.

Critics’ Choice Awards are bestowed annually to honor the finest in cinematic and television achievement.  Historically, they are the most-accurate predictor of Academy Award nominations.

The 25^th annual Critics’ Choice Awards show will be produced by Bob Bain Productions and Berlin Entertainment.  The CCA is represented by Dan Black of Greenberg Traurig.

About SeeHer
Despite strides made in recent years to accurately portray women and girls in media, unconscious bias persists throughout advertising and entertainment. The average age, race, and body type of women depicted in media today still represents only a small fraction of the female population. Led by the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), SeeHer is a collective of leading marketers committed to creating advertising and supporting content that portrays women and girls as they really are. It launched in June 2016 in partnership with The Female Quotient (The FQ) in Washington DC at the United State of Women. To help marketers benchmark success, the group developed Gender Equality Measure^TM, GEM^TM, the first research methodology that quantifies gender bias in ads and programming. GEM^TM shows that content portraying females accurately dramatically increases purchase intent and brand reputation, increasing return on investment (ROI) by as much as 30 percent. GEM^TM won the prestigious 2017 ESOMAR Research Effectiveness Award, and the methodology became the industry standard, which led to a global rollout in 2018. In 2019 the movement expanded into new verticals including sports (#SeeHerInSports) and music (#SeeHerHearHer.)

It is so heartening to get so many comments from members asking what they can do to help out with our big show on January 12, or throughout the year. Actually, there are a couple of things that could be a huge help to our organization as we continue to grow the Critics Choice Association and our Critics’ Choice Awards programs.

The most important thing all members have a chance to help with is promoting our telecast on January 12, live (to most of the country) on The CW Television Network. When our nominations are announced this Sunday, December 8, it will be in the middle of a slew of organizations making similar announcements, including our friends at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association the next day. Please help your audience understand that our voting group – the Critics Choice Association – is by far the largest (400+ members) and most significant voting group outside of those for the Oscars and the Emmys. And for the next five weeks, help to build the excitement leading up to our January 12 show a week after the Globes and a day before the Oscar nominations are announced. In other words, in the heart of the movie awards season.

If you want to do more, please join our Social Media team for the day of the show. For the first time, Board Member Sean O’Connell will be organizing a team of members to shower social media with photos, videos, and behind the scenes reports from the Barker Hangar. You can even be part of the team from the comfort of your own home. Please reach out to Sean at [email protected] for more info.

And if you are fine with coming to the show as a single this year and sitting with your peers – or paired with another member at one of the “talent” tables – that will be a big help, too. With the explosion of great moving image content and content providers it continues to get harder to squeeze everyone we’d like to attend into the Barker Hangar – which is the biggest venue we can find! You can waive your $150 dues payment if you attend solo – or join the members who are paying dues AND flying solo. (If paying $150 dues is difficult for you this year, just let us know and we can waive them for you.)

And thanks for helping!
