Palm Springs, Soul, and The Boys were big winners at Sunday's inaugural Critics Choice Super Awards. The CW broadcast special, hosted by Kevin Smith and Dani Fernandez, celebrated the most popular, fan-obsessed genres across television and movies, including superhero/comic book, science fiction/fantasy, horror, action, and animation.
Palm Springs and Soul led for films, with each title earning three trophies. With wins in both the film and TV categories, Netflix led the studio/network count with five.
Hulu and Neon's time-bending comedy Palm Springs was recognized as 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). Disney's Soul nabbed Best Animated Movie, Best Voice Actor in an Animated Movie (Jamie Foxx), and Best Voice Actress in an Animated Movie (Tina Fey).
As for the small screen, Amazon's The Boys led the pack with four awards: 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 (Starr). Starr was the only actor who garnered multiple awards for his work.
Star Trek actors Patrick Stewart and Sonequa Martin-Green also accepted the Legacy Award for the franchise, which is celebrating its 55th anniversary. The Critics Choice Association recognized Star Trek's cultural impact across multiple decades while continuing to evolve and grow its fanbase.
