“Superman” flew to the head of the pack with the sixth annual Critics Choice Super Awards, the Critics Choice Association’s celebration of the most popular, fan-favorite corners of film and television across the superhero, science fiction/fantasy, horror and action genres.

James Gunn’s DC Studios tentpole led all films with six nominations, including best superhero movie. Its ensemble accounted for half of the best actor in a superhero movie field, with David Corenswet, Edi Gathegi and Nicholas Hoult all making the cut. Hoult picked up a second nomination for best villain in a movie, while Rachel Brosnahan earned a nod for best actress in a superhero movie.
