The Last of Us entered this year’s Critics Choice Super Awards as the top contender in the TV field, and no other show dared to stand in its path. HBO’s video game adaptation cruised to an easy victory, dominating all the categories it was nominated in to collect seven awards.

The Last of Us was the most-nominated show at this year’s Critics Choice Super Awards, and it lived up to the hype. It was one of the nominees for the best superhero series, and it defeated the likes of Gen V, Loki, Ahsoka, and Superman & Lois to take it home.

Its leading duo Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey both collected two awards in their respective categories, for best actor/actress in a horror series and superhero series. The Last of Us was also named the best horror series, while the guest star Melanie Lynskey picked up a trophy for the best villain in a series, limited, series, or a TV film.

Black Mirror was the only other show with multiple wins at this year’s Critics Choice Super Awards. “Joan Is Awful”, the opening episode of Season 6, won the trophy for best sci-fi fantasy series, limited series, or a TV movie, while its star Annie Murphy was honored for her lead performance.
