The Critics' Choice Super Awards is an awards show presented annually by the Critics Choice Association to honor the finest in genre fiction film, television and home media releases, including action, superhero, horror, science fiction, fantasy and animation releases.

History
The awards were first announced on October 12, 2020 by the Critics Choice Association. According to the acting CEO of the Critics Choice Association, Joey Berlin, the Critics' Choice Super Awards were created to "recognize the brilliance, creativity, and artistic excellence showcased in genres that, for far too long, have been overlooked by other award shows." The inaugural ceremony aired on the CW on January 10, 2021 and was produced by Bob Bain Productions.[2]
