This week, the Critics Choice Association (CCA) announced the winners of the 6th annual Critics Choice Super Awards. These select awards honor the most popular, fan-obsessed genres across both television and movies, including Superhero, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Horror, and Action. Film Obsessive Editor-in-Chief Don Shanahan is a voting member of the Critics Choice Association and was on the nominating committees for these very awards.
Tied with two Super Award wins apiece, Obsession, Project Hail Mary, Superman, and The Furious led this year’s film winners from the Critics Choice Association voting. Obsession was named Best Horror Movie, with Inde Navarrette honored as Best Actress in a Horror Movie. Project Hail Mary took home Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Movie, with its star Ryan Gosling winning Best Actor in a Science Fiction/Fantasy Movie. After leading in nominations, Superman was named Best Superhero Movie, and David Corenswet won Best Actor in a Superhero Movie. Topping the Action categories, The Furious won Best Action Movie, and Xie Miao received Best Actor in an Action Movie.
The Critics Choice Super Awards is also presenting a special honor recognizing a certain outstanding performance in a horror film. This year, Indy, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and four-legged star of IFC’s thriller Good Boy, will receive the “Best Good Boy in a Horror Movie” award for his scene-stealing performance.
