The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) is an organization of film critics from various television and radio outlets in the United States and Canada. Founded in 1995, the BFCA aims to promote the art of film criticism and provide a platform for critics to share their insights and opinions on movies. Each year, the BFCA hosts the Critics' Choice Awards, which honors outstanding achievements in film and television. The awards are determined by the votes of its members, making it a significant event in the entertainment industry, often seen as a precursor to other major awards like the Academy Awards.
