The Critics Choice Awards have just made a pretty bad choice. The ceremony will not hand out its usual award for animated features this year. The category was nowhere to be seen among the nominations, which were announced yesterday.

Films about major African-American personalities dominated the song category, with new tunes from “One Night in Miami,” “Judas and the Black Messiah” and “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” accounting for three of the five slots. And, intriguingly, four of the five song nominees are from streaming services, not traditional studios.
