LOS ANGELES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2022 — The Hollywood Critics Association has announced the complete list of nominees for their inaugural HCA Creative Arts Awards. The HCA Creative Arts Awards winners will be revealed at their ceremony, scheduled to take place on Friday, February 24, 2023.

A shortlist committee, led by AwardsWatch and HCA Member, Erik Anderson, was created and tasked with generating twelve category shortlists for the HCA Creative Arts Awards. HCA Members Ema Sasic, Ryan McQuade, Terence Johnson, Chris James, Kathia Woods, and Dana Han-Klein worked alongside Anderson to build and shape this year’s shortlists. Once the lists were finalized, the shortlists were sent out to the HCA membership and were used to vote for this year’s nominees.
