UPDATE 6 p.m.
The Critics Choice Awards delayed the 30th annual ceremony for a second time on Tuesday amid the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires. The move comes nearly one week since the first delay was announced. A date for the ceremony will be confirmed later, a person with knowledge of the situation tells TheWrap.

UPDATE 4:30 p.m.
The National Weather Service paused its “particularly dangerous situation” warning for Los Angeles and Ventura counties Tuesday afternoon when the fierce Santa Ana winds, with expected gusts of 70 mph or more, failed to materialize. But it was more of a postponement than a cancelation, as the winds were expected to pick back up before dawn Wednesday.
