The first major movie and film awards of the year were given out last night at a glittery, celebrity-packed ceremony hosted by Chelsea Handler. Surprises included Best Supporting Actress Amy Madigan, for her role as the evil Aunt Gladys in “Weapons” and Best Supporting Actor Jacob Elordi for his role as the Monster in “Frankenstein.” It is unusual for horror/thriller movies to be recognized but both performances were truly outstanding. As expected Jessie Buckley won Best Actress for “Hamnet.” Two top contenders split the top awards; “One Battle After Another” won Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture and “Sinners” won Best Youth Performance, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cast/Ensemble. “KPop Demon Hunters” won Best Song for “Golden” and Best Animated Feature” to great enthusiasm from the crowd.

Critics Choice First Ever Super Awards! January 10 on the CW

The Critics Choice Awards are my favorite awards show, and not just because I get to vote and sometimes attend! It is because it is the only awards show where the choices are made by the professionals who see just about everything and report our reactions to readers. We aren’t part of the industry like the Oscars and the SAG Awards. We aren’t a tiny group of international journalists based in LA like the Golden Globes voters. We are the people who see everything and we review movies for a living because ticket-buyers want to know whether we think a movie is worth seeing.

And a movie doesn’t have to be a prestige film for us to love it. That’s why we now have this special show to honor popcorn movies, the movies that are just plain fun.

So the Critics Choice SUPER Awards honor the finest movies and series in the wildly popular but often under-appreciated Superhero/Comic Book, Action, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Horror and Animation genres. The inaugural Critics Choice SUPER Awards show makes its debut Sunday night on The CW Television Network (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). It is hosted by Kevin Smith and Dani Fernandez and features a Special Legacy Award presented to the entire Star Trek Universe.

Every one of the 32 winners will appear on the show to accept their awards. There are also celebrity presenters galore and some of the most memorable packages of clips from the nominated movies, series and performances that you have ever seen.

Follow the Critics Choice Super Awards on Twitter and Instagram @CriticsChoice and on Facebook/CriticsChoiceAwards. Join the conversation using #CriticsChoice and #SuperAwards.
