This morning, the Hollywood Critics Association along with 2022 HCA Film Awards Newcomer honoree and Belfast star Jude Hill, Till star Jalyn Hall, and The Black Phone star Madeleine McGraw announced the nominations for the 2023 HCA Film Awards on the HCA YouTube channel. The prestigious ceremony will be produced by DIGA Studios and Content.23 Media and live-streamed on the official HCA YouTube channel and HCA App from the historic Beverly Wilshire in Los Angeles, CA on Friday, February 24th beginning at 6 p.m. PST / 9 p.m. EST.

Comedian, Actor, Writer Tig Notaro will host the 2023 HCA Film Awards ceremony. Named by Rolling Stone as one of the 50 best stand-up comics of all time, Tig can currently be seen in Star Trek: Discovery on Paramount+ and next year on AppleTV+’s The Morning Show. Last year, Tig starred in Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, and prior to that was seen in the heartwarming Paramount film, Instant Family. Tig also previously wrote, produced and starred in the semi-autobiographical Amazon series, One Mississippi, for which she also directed an episode. Tig’s most recent and fully animated standup special, Drawn, was nominated for a Hollywood Critics Association Award earlier this year. Tig and her wife, Stephanie Allynne, co-directed the feature film, AM I OK?, starring Dakota Johnson and Sinoya Mizuno, which premiered at Sundance this year and will be available on HBO Max in 2023.
