Broadcast Film Critics Association
The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) is the largest film critics organization in the United States and Canada [1], representing approximately 250 television, radio and online critics.
Founded in 1995, the BFCA presents its Critics' Choice Movie Awards each year to honor the finest achievements in filmmaking. A portion of the proceeds from the awards presentation ceremony at the Beverly Hills Hotel is donated to the Starlight Children's Fund.
The BFCA also selects a Film of the Month and officially recommends other worthy films throughout the course of the year. As an additional service to moviegoers, each film is given a Critics' Choice Rating (on a 1-10 scale, 10 being the highest), based on the cumulative grades each film receives in the monthly balloting. The BFCA is led by its President and Board of Directors. Joey Berlin is currently serving as President. The Board of Directors are John De Simio, Jim Ferguson, Mark Ramsey and Sara Voorhees.
The BFCA also sponsors the interview site and online community Critics Choice. The site features work of professional film critics and broadcast journalists while the online community lets film fans interact with critics and give their own reviews.
The Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA) launched in 2011 as an offshoot of the BFCA. The BTJA is planning to present its first awards at a ceremony later in the year.[2]
