‘The Boys,’ ‘Palm Springs,’ ‘Soul’ lead winners at CCSA
    2021-01-12  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

TV series “The Boys” and the films “Palm Springs” and “Soul” led the winners at the inaugural Critics Choice Super Awards, which were handed out during a broadcast Sunday night on The CW.

The show, which was produced remotely following COVID-19 safety protocols, with most of the winners accepting via video, was hosted by writer-director-podcaster Kevin Smith and actress-writer Dani Fernandez. It honored the genre series and movies in categories encompassing superhero/comic book, science fiction/fantasy, horror, action and animation.

Amazon’s “The Boys” earned the most awards, with a total of four, including best superhero series. The show’s Antony Starr became the night’s only multiple award winner, earning the trophies for best actor in a superhero series and  best villain in a series. His co-star Aya Cash was named best actress in a superhero series.

On the film side, Hulu and NEON’s “Palm Springs” and Disney+’s “Soul” led the film winners, each earning three trophies. “Soul” was named best animated movie, while star Jamie Foxx was named best voice actor in an animated movie and Tina Fey won best actress in an animated movie.

In his speech, Foxx thanked Pixar for letting him join the “family,” hinting at a possible follow-up collaboration: “I’m looking forward to more.”

“Palm Springs” won best science fiction/fantasy movie, best actor in a science fiction/fantasy movie for Andy Samberg and best actress in a science fiction/fantasy movie for Cristin Milioti.

Tiffany Haddish presented the first award of the night — best action movie, which went to Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods.”

Angela Bassett, who was named best actress in an action series for “9-1-1,” dedicated her award to the real-life first responders “who have selflessly and tirelessly pulled double and triple duty over the past few months of this pandemic,” calling them “superheroes in their community.”

In an acceptance speech for “The Mandalorian,” Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni continued that theme, thanking the frontline health workers and everyone who’s kept them safe so they can keep doing what they love to do.

Betty Gilpin, who was named best actress in an action movie for “The Hunt,” spoke about how the pandemic impacted the film’s release in her acceptance speech.

Meanwhile, “Sonic the Hedgehog” star Jim Carrey accepted his award for best movie villain award via video, saying: “Thanks for naming me best villain of 2020. ... That’s saying something.”

Also during Sunday’s ceremony, “Star Trek” icon Patrick Stewart and “Star Trek: Discovery” star Sonequa Martin-Green accepted the legacy award on behalf of the franchise, which is celebrating its 55th anniversary.

The award recognizes the “cultural impact [the franchise] has had across multiple decades while continuing to appeal to and grow its loyal fanbase with new stories and characters.” Stewart also was named best actor in a science fiction/fantasy series for “Star Trek: Picard.”

Of all the networks and studios, Netflix took home the most awards with a total of five, followed by Amazon, Disney+ and Universal with four apiece.
