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. The BFCA's collective membership is the primary source of information for today's entertainment consumers. The very first opinion a moviegoer hears about new releases at the multiplex or the art house usually comes from one of their members.
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.
