According to Billboard, the award is typically presented to an advocate of gender equality who “portrays characters with authenticity, defies stereotypes and pushes boundaries.” This year, it will go to Janelle Monáe.
Come Sunday, January 15, the singer/actress will join a list of previous recipients, including Viola Davis,Halle Berry, Gal Gadot and Claire Foy. Monáe, Zendaya and Kristen Bell are the only recipients known as both actresses and musicians.
The Critics Choice Awards will broadcast live on The CW at 7 p.m. ET. Chelsea Handler will host the show.
