The 2024 Super Awards Nominations are Here!

Action, superheroes, and horror often get the shaft during awards season.

That's why we love more specific awards, even if they don't get all the pomp and circumstance that normally comes with a presentation and a large crowd eager to give and receive awards.

Let your Geek Flag fly with the Critics Choice Association's Super Awards nominees.
