The Critics Choice Association (CCA) has hosted the first Critics Choice Super Awards, a celebration of the most popular and fan-adored TV shows and film, with a focus on superhero and comic book genres.
Science fiction, fantasy, horror, action and animated productions were also honoured at the awards, which took place on the night of Sunday, January 10.
The inaugural ceremony was hosted by writer-director Kevin Smith and actress Dani Fernandez and held with Covid-19 safety protocols in place.
Amazon's The Boys topped the winners' list with four awards, followed by heart-warming animation Soul and Palm Springs, a modern take on Groundhog Day starring Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti, which took three awards each.
The Critics Choice Association's 26th Critics' Choice Awards is set to take place on Monday, March 8, with a socially distanced ceremony.

How to come clean about financial infidelity
- Be honest and transparent: It is always better to own up than be found out. Tell your partner everything they want to know. Show remorse. Inform them of the extent of the situation so they know what they are dealing with.
- Work on yourself: Be honest with yourself and your partner and figure out why you did it. Don’t be ashamed to ask for professional help.
- Give it time: Like any breach of trust, it requires time to rebuild. So be consistent, communicate often and be patient with your partner and yourself.
- Discuss your financial situation regularly: Ensure your spouse is involved in financial matters and decisions. Your ability to consistently follow through with what you say you are going to do when it comes to money can make all the difference in your partner’s willingness to trust you again.
- Work on a plan to resolve the problem together: If there is a lot of debt, for example, create a budget and financial plan together and ensure your partner is fully informed, involved and supported.
