The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) claims to be the largest film critics’ organization in the United States and Canada. The BFCA represents television, radio and online critics, and currently has 235 members. Since 1995, they’ve presented the “Critics’ Choice Awards.” The awards are bestowed annually to honor the finest in cinematic achievement.
For the 15th edition of the Critics' Choice Awards, members selected nominees in each of 25 categories. Eligible films were released in 2009. The accounting firm of Gregory A. Mogab tallied the written ballots. The group claims that, historically, the Critics' Choice Movie Awards are the most accurate predictor of the Academy Award nominations.
