The 27th annual Critics Choice Awards will be held this Sunday. Just as we did with the EE BAFTA Awards, we are holding a contest to see who will get the most categories correct. All 41 film and television categories must be filled out in order for your picks to be submitted. The submission deadline will be the day of the awards, before the show starts. The winner will receive bragging rights and a pair of Oscar-nominated films on 4K/BluRayDVD (U.S. Submissions only).
