The films of the male action stars were honored with several trophies at the “Critics Choice Super Awards”. But a superheroine was also able to look forward to a prize.
Hollywood honors action, superheroes, horror and science fiction: ten days before the Oscars are awarded, films such as “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and the Bond strip “No Time to Die” have won several awards.
The renowned critics’ association Critics Choice Association (CCA) has announced the winners of the second “Critics Choice Super Awards”.
The comic adaptation “Spider-Man: No Way Home” won three trophies in the categories “Best Superhero Film”, for actor Andrew Garfield and for Willem Dafoe as “Best Villain”. “No Time To Die” won in the categories “Best Action Film” and “Best Action Actor” (Daniel Craig).
Other trophies went to “Dune” (Best Science Fiction Film) and “A Quiet Place 2” (Best Horror Film). Jodie Comer won for Best Action Actress (The Last Duel), Florence Pugh for her superhero role in Black Widow, and Rebecca Ferguson for her sci-fi role in Dune. In the television category, three prizes each went to the series “Squid Game” and “WandaVision”.
With over 500 members, the CCA is the largest film and television critics association in the United States and Canada. In mid-March, the organization presented its “Critics Choice Awards” for the 27th time. With four awards, the western drama “The Power of the Dog” was the big winner. This film is also a favorite in the Oscar race on March 27th.
