Four Celebs Drop Out of Critics Choice Awards 2023 After Testing Positive for COVID

Several stars will be missing the 2023 Critics Choice Awards after a breakout of COVID-19 has caught up with several of them.

Deadline is now reporting that the show has instituted a new policy that will force all attendees to submit to a COVID test taken within 72 hours of the event. The new measure is in hopes of stopping the virus from spreading even further.

Three major nominees are among those who will now miss the show, along with an A-List star who was scheduled to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to Jeff Bridges.

The show is being held live from the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles on Sunday night (January 15) from 7pm to 10pm ET. Check out the full presenters list!
