Critics Choice Awards are underway Friday at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, launching a ceremony that had twice been postponed due to the L.A. wildfires that wreaked havoc on the city the past month.

The Substance ’s Demi Moore looked glamorous for her Critics Choice Awards debut this evening. Moore is nominated for Best Actress and is fresh off of her first Golden Globe win. On the red carpet, the actress wore a strapless navy dress with a sweetheart neckline (with a twist) and a draped, slitted skirt.
