The Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) — formerly known, until 2019, as the Los Angeles Online Film Critics Society (LAOFCS) — is a film critic organization in Los Angeles, California.
In August 2021, the HCA plans to hold their first 1st Hollywood Critics Association TV Awards. The HCA also has a film discussion podcast called "Film Critics Weekly" on the online broadcasting network, "Popcorn Talk", to further their goals of creating "a film critics group that would openly discuss film throughout the year, and not just during award season".[1]

History
It was founded in 2016 by Scott Menzel, Scott Mantz, and Ashley Menzel, after noting Los Angeles only had one film critic organization.[2] Its purpose is to be a critics group that is diverse and supports underrepresented voices[2] and they are the first critics group to separate directing honors by gender.[3] "There has been so much conversation about the power of female filmmakers and we wanted to embrace it," said Scott Mantz.[4]
In May 2021, The HCA announced that their inaugural 1st Hollywood Critics Association TV Awards will take place in person on Sunday, August 22, 2021, in Los Angeles, California, Ashley Menzel, stated: “Over these past fourteen 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.”[5]
