‘The Batman’ and ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ Lead Critics Choice Super Award Noms:

Well, perhaps there is justice after all for Viola Davis, Kelly Reilly, Paul Dano, Keke Palmer and Oscar luncheon magnet Tom Cruise, all Emmy and Oscar un-nominated for their work over the past year but represented in the Critics Choice Super Award nominations, honoring horror, superhero, science fiction and action movies and television series.

Oscar nominees such as Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) and Angela Bassett (“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”) are also repped here, as well as Colin Farrell, nominated twice for two of his other 2022 films, “After Yang” and “The Batman”. (Co-nominee Brendan Fraser managed a nod for the HBO Max series “Doom Patrol as well). Bassett similarly scored a second nomination for her leading role on Fox’s “9-1-1.”

Genre enthusiasts will also be happy to see names dropped by various insiders as longshots for Oscar nominations during awards season, including “Pearl” star Mia Goth (nominated for both Best Actor in a Horror Movie and Best Villain), Rebecca Hall in “Resurrection,” Justin Long in “Barbarian,” Amber Midthunder in “Prey,” and Ralph Fiennes in “The Menu”.

Television nominees were led by four different programs (“Evil,” “House of the Dragon,” “The Boys” and “What We Do in the Shadows”), with Marvel and Disney+ shows making a strong showing (including “Andor,” “Moon Knight,” “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” and “Werewolf by Night” among others). High-profile streaming hits like Netflix’s “Cobra Kai,” “Wednesday” and “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” as well as Amazon’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” also had good showings.

Below is a full list of nominees:
