The Critics’ Choice Super Awards were first introduced last year, as a way of honoring fan-favorite TV shows and movies, and they’re back for another ride. This year’s list of contenders is dominated by horror dramas, with Midnight Mass and Evil tying for most TV nominations.
Both Midnight Mass and Evil received a total of six nominations in the horror field, starting with the award for best horror series. They’ll be competing against Chucky, Dr. Death, Servant, and Yellowjackets in this pretty crowded field.
Marvel’s Disney+ shows WandaVision and Loki had a pretty great showing in the superhero categories, scoring five nominations each. The list of major contenders in this field also includes Doom Patrol, Hawkeye, Lucifer, and Superman & Lois.
When it comes to the action field, Netflix’s Korean drama Squid Game is leading the way with four nods, but it will have to face some tough competition along the way. The list of nominees for the best action series also includes 9-1-1, Cobra Kai, Heels, Kung Fu, and Lupin.
The Critics’ Choice Super Awards nominations are being presented by the Critics Choice Association and they’re set to take place on March 17th.
