Top Contenders for the New Critics Choice Super Awards — Which Would You Really Rather?

Take a look at some new viewing options for movies/TV shows you might not have considered, as nominated for the new Critics Choice Super Awards.

Critics Choice Super Awards

In essence, 2020 was a terrible year for movies, a great year for television. The reasons are obvious: theaters closed down, so studios re-scheduled their best movies for next year and beyond. Meanwhile, we sated our hunger for entertainment at home on smaller screens, and networks, streamers and cable channels pulled out all the stops.

“What better time to shine some light on genres that don’t normally receive much critical acclaim?” asked members of the Critics Choice Association, in which ReallyRather is a big participant. Why not honor the best of the best, both in television and film, in the genres of Superhero, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Horror, Action and Animation?

Not a big fan of any of those? Don’t forget that Outlander fits in the Science Fiction/Fantasy category, as does The Mandalorian. And even though you claim not to be a fan of Superhero stuff, we bet The Boys and The Umbrella Academy would be your guilty pleasures if you deigned to watch them.

Below find the 5 categories we thought would interest you most from the nominees list of the first annual Critics Choice Super Awards. Take a look, you just might find something something you’ve never seen before but would like to. Heaven knows at this point, we could all use some fresh viewing suggestions.
