Actor Taye Diggs returns to host the 26th annual event for the third consecutive year, appearing live in Los Angeles for the ceremony airing on The CW.

Honoring both films and series, the Critics’ Choice Awards has a packed evening of accolades ahead. Euphoria and Spider-Man star Zendaya will receive the fifth annual SeeHer Award. The honor recognizes women who defy stereotypes and give authentic portrayals of females in media. It has been previously awarded to Viola Davis, Gal Gadot, Claire Foy and Kristen Bell. Zendaya, who is nominated in the Best Actress category for Netflix film Malcolm & Marie, will be presented the award by her co-star John David Washington.
