Kevin Smith and Dani Fernandez will host a brand new special event that will honor the most popular fan-obsessed genres on both television and movies. The Critics Choice Association announced the nominees that include Superhero, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Horror, Action, and Animation. The cast and crew for these shows and films deserve the recognition such as HBO’s “Lovecraft Country,” and Hulu’s “Palm Springs,” as well as actors like Andy Samberg, J.K. Simmons, Karl Urban, Michael K. Williams, Hilary Swank, and the stunning list goes on. No doubt one of the highlights will be a Legacy Award that will be given to Patrick Stewart and Sonequa Martin-Green for the “Star Trek” franchise.
