It was a super night for the first-ever Critics Choice Super Awards which honor the best genre entertainment including Superhero/Comic Book, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Horror, Action and Animation properties in film, television and streaming.
The awardscast aired on the CW January 10 (and is available streaming on the CW app and website) and was hosted by writer/director/podcaster Kevin Smith and actress/writer Dani Fernandez.
On the film side, Hulu and NEON’s “Palm Springs” and Disney+’s “Soul” each scored three trophies. “Palm Springs” was recognized for Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Movie, Best Actor in a Science Fiction/Fantasy Movie (Andy Samberg), and Best Actress in a Science Fiction/Fantasy Movie (Cristin Milioti). “Soul” earned Best Animated Movie, as well as Best Voice Actor in an Animated Movie (Jamie Foxx) and Best Voice Actress in an Animated Movie (Tina Fey).
For the series categories, Amazon’s “The Boys” topped the list for the most awards, winning four including Best Superhero Series, Best Actor in a Superhero Series (Antony Starr), Best Actress in a Superhero Series (Aya Cash), and Best Villain in a Series (Antony Starr). Starr was the only actor to take home multiple awards for his work.
With trophies in both the film and series categories, Netflix led the studio/network count with a total of five.
The Critics Choice Association also presented the Legacy Award to the “Star Trek” franchise, recognizing the cultural impact it has had across multiple decades while continuing to appeal to and grow its loyal fanbase with new stories and characters.
“Star Trek” icon Patrick Stewart, and “Star Trek: Discovery” trailblazer Sonequa Martin-Green were on-hand to accept this special honor, which came as the franchise celebrates its 55th anniversary.
