The Critics Choice Association (CCA) announced the winners of the inaugural Critics Choice Super Awards on Sunday night during a special presentation broadcast on The CW. Produced remotely following COVID safety protocols, the ceremony was hosted by writer/director/podcaster Kevin Smith and actress/writer Dani Fernandez, and honored the most popular, fan-obsessed genres across both television and movies.
Hulu and NEON’s Palm Springs and Disney+’s Soul led the film winners, each earning three trophies — 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). In the series categories, Amazon’s The Boys took home the most awards with four. Best Animated Series went to Netflix’s BoJack Horseman, and star Will Arnett earned the Voice Actor honors while Kaley Cuoco won Best Voice Actress for HBO Max’s Harley Quinn. With wins in both the film and series categories, Netflix led the studio/network count with a total of five.
