The Astra Awards
The Astra Awards (formerly known as the Los Angeles Online Film Critics Society Awards and the Hollywood Critics Association Awards) is an annual awards ceremony hosted by the Hollywood Creative Alliance to recognize achievements in the entertainment industry. These awards span categories in film, television, and digital media, honoring technical and creative excellence.
On January 10, 2018, the group held its first annual Film Awards at the Taglyan Complex in Los Angeles. On August 29, 2021, the HCA held its inaugural Hollywood Critics Association TV Awards. The event was originally to take place in-person but was shifted to virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ashley Menzel said, "Over these past 14 months, many of us have been watching more television than ever before. This is why we are absolutely delighted that our first in-person event for 2021 will begin with a brand-new event paying tribute to the best of television".
On February 28, 2022, the 5th HCA Film Awards took place at the Avalon Hollywood. Apple TV+'s CODA won Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for Troy Kotsur. Kristen Stewart won Best Actress for Spencer and Andrew Garfield won Best Actor for Tick, Tick... Boom!. On August 13 and 14, 2022, the HCA hosted their 2nd Annual HCA TV Awards at the Beverly Hilton. The two-night event dedicated one night to broadcast and cable networks and the other to streaming platforms. Dulcé Sloan hosted night one while Cameron Esposito hosted night two.
