The Critics’ Choice Super Awards were introduced as a way of honoring fan-favorite genres last year, and they’re back for another ride. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Spider-Man: No Way Home topped nominations in the movie field, with Evil and Midnight Mass leading the way in the television categories.
Shang-Chi and Spider-Man are both competing for a total of five awards, including the best superhero movie. They’ll be in a pretty good company in this field since the list of nominees also includes Black Widow, Eternals, The Suicide Squad, and Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
When it comes to the rest of the contenders at this award ceremony, Don’t Look Up, The Harder They Fall, No Time to Die, and The Suicide Squad had a pretty good showing, with four nods each.
The television field brought many surprises our way, with Evil and Midnight Mass tying for most nominations with six. Disney+ shows WandaVision and Loki were close behind with five nods each, while Netflix’s record-breaking Korean drama Squid Game received four.
The Critics’ Choice Association introduced the Critics’ Choice Super Awards last year, as a way of honoring fan-favorite genres that rarely get celebrated at traditional award shows. The upcoming ceremony will take place on March 17th.
