All films released in a UK cinema and direct to premiere streaming services between February 2021 and February 2022 were all eligible to be nominated. For the second year in a row, the event took place virtually on the London Critics' Circle YouTube channel, this time with critics presenting awards remotely from the ceremony's usual home at The May Fair Hotel.
The nominations were announced on 16 December 2021 by actors Gwilym Lee and Joanna Vanderham.
