‘Superman’ and ‘The Boys’ lead nominations for the 2026 Critics Choice Super Awards

Warner Bros. and DC’s Superman and Prime Video’s The Boys topped the field as the Critics Choice Association announced nominees for the 2026 Critics Choice Super Awards, with Superman earning a slate including acting nods.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

The Critics Choice Association has released the 2026 Critics Choice Super Awards nominees, with Warner Bros. and DC’s Superman leading the list for the new genre prizes, according to Deadline’s report on the announcement. The film received a half-dozen nominations, including Best Superhero Movie and multiple acting recognitions for its lead and supporting cast.

Deadline reported that Superman secured three Best Actor mentions for David Corenswet, Edi Gathegi and Nicholas Hoult, alongside its Best Superhero Movie nomination. The acting nods recognize performances from the movie’s principal ensemble, as listed in the nominee announcement released by the Critics Choice Association.

In the same slate, Prime Video’s The Boys topped the nominations on its side, Deadline said, describing the series as “now-wrapped.” The report indicated that The Boys’ total nomination count led the television categories, even as Superman stood out as the film leader.

The announcement places both major Hollywood studio and streaming series projects in front of the 2026 Super Awards voting bloc, reflecting the awards program’s broader emphasis on genre work across film and television. The Critics Choice Association’s selections also highlight multiple individual performers from the Superman cast, not just the production as a whole.

Neither the Deadline report nor the information provided here includes specific voting totals beyond the description that Superman drew a half-dozen nominations and The Boys led the overall field for the series side. The program’s nominee list, released by the Critics Choice Association, is the central published outcome in this cycle.

As the 2026 Critics Choice Super Awards process moves forward, nominees listed in the Critics Choice Association announcement will be eligible for later voting phases and awards night recognition, with film and television projects advancing based on the categories named in the nomination release.

Why It Matters

  • The nominations set the lineup for a genre-focused awards event spanning film and streaming series.
  • Superman’s multiple acting nominations suggest the film’s performances are being recognized alongside its genre blockbuster standing.
  • The Boys leading the series side underscores continued awards attention to superhero and genre TV content distributed by major streaming platforms.
  • Because the public nominee list is an eligibility gate for later voting and awards recognition, the announced categories will guide attention for both studios and talent this award season.
