The Critics Choice Association (CCA) just announced the winners of the 5^th annual Critics Choice Super Awards, honoring the most popular, fan-obsessed genres across both movies and television. See if you agree.

Because you all need to know what’s worth watching, I view as much as I possibly can, and pass along my opinions to you via podcast and reviews. Tough job, but someone’s got to do it.

This year I was called upon to help nominate the best shows in the “popular” genres—those that are not necessarily considered highbrow or artsy, but  focus on less serious subjects in the sci-fi, horror and/or fantasy realms.

Not all of the shows up for consideration fall into my list of favorite genres, but some are truly winning me over. For example, I don’t play video games, but series like “Fall Out” and “The Last of Us” totally won me over.

I’m a little soured on superhero of late, but “The Penguin,” “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and “The Boys” are not without their award-worthy merits.

And horror has not particularly been my jam, but Hugh Grant’s “Heretic” was superlative, and “Companion” was fresh, fun, suspenseful and chilling.

So check out the list of winners, and give some of them a try, if you haven’t already. You may be surprised at how much you like shows and films in categories you’ve never considered watching.

5^th annual Critics Choice Super Awards results — the highlights

“The Penguin” was the standout among this year’s television winners, taking home wins in all four of its nominated categories including Best Superhero Series, Limited Series or Made-For-TV Movie. “The Penguin” star Colin Farrell also won Best Actor in a Superhero Series, Limited Series, or Made-For-TV Movie, as well as Best Villain in a Series, Limited Series, or Made-For-TV Movie, while Cristin Milioti was awarded Best Actress in a Superhero Series, Limited Series, or Made-For-TV Movie.
