Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards, but this didn’t stop the superhero show from making fun of the prestigious awards ceremony.
Earlier this week, The Boys’ in-universe company Vought International created its own awards show called The Supie Awards following a supposed Emmy snub. In a series of tweets, Vought announced that all its Vought+ Originals won a Supie despite scoring zero Emmy nominations. Vought then enumerated all its Supie-winning Vought+ Originals with their own “for your own consideration” posters, along with a short description of each series. The made-up Vought+ Originals are documentary Her Deepness, miniseries Homelander: The Brightest Night, competition series Run Yourself Thin, murder mystery Maeve of Easttown, and rom-com Love, Sausage.
We didn’t score an Emmy nom, but as always, ALL Vought+ Originals won a Supie! Starting with this profoundly moving and surprisingly steamy doc. Explore The Deep’s intimate relationship with one very special, and flexible, octopus in Her Deepness. pic.twitter.com/EYJgqdw3Gq

Homelander had to be convinced to make this exhaustive, extra-long series about his life, but he came around when we agreed that he could play himself in all the flashbacks and re-enactments. Forty-eight hours of TV never went by so fast. pic.twitter.com/SS3spvcfnO

A-Train is such an intense motivational coach that many of our contestants lost several pounds just from shedding tears! But like the Blue Blur says every week, “tears are weakness leaving the body.” Run, don’t walk, to stream this fitness classic! pic.twitter.com/ri0Q7AVubl

A murder mystery so dark and twisty, we STILL don’t understand who the killer was! But we sure did love watching Maeve eat hoagies, drink Rolling Rocks, and say “beer me that jawn!” pic.twitter.com/DJf5Baih0e

Our first rom-com gave us ALL the feels. ‘Love, Sausage’ earned millions of streams upon its release. This show taught us it’s not the size of the crush you’re packing, it’s what you do with it. What’s your favorite thing to watch on Vought+? pic.twitter.com/KGQGoxHVat

And with the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards taking place tonight, Sunday, September 19th, The Boys took their parody to the next level by releasing a collection of artworks featuring some of the Seven in “Supie Couture” as they work the red carpet for the Supies.
The said artworks were shared by Vought International’s official Twitter account with clever commentary as if they were live-tweeting the red-carpet appearances of Homelander (Anthony Starr), Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott), A-Train (Jessie T. Usher), Starlight (Erin Moriarty), the Deep (Chace Crawford), and Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell) at the fictional awards show.
Welcome to our red carpet coverage of The Supies, the only television awards program airing tonight! We’ll be threading our favorite looks from the Vought family below:

Homelander kicked off the evening with a patriotic show-stopping look designed by Vought International. The fabrics are all made in America by American laborers, paid in American dollars. God Bless! pic.twitter.com/8vDys35Ewl

Queen Maeve reminded us all that she’s femme 4 femme queer royalty tonight. Don’t you just feel Pride looking at her? Yaaas queen, now sissy that walk! pic.twitter.com/mXaKDuXqJE

A-Train designed his look himself! He loved the process so much that he told our Vought+ red carpet reporter his new album is on hold as he pursues design! Would you wear an A-Train original? pic.twitter.com/DU91U8RO4k

Starlight was her usual sunny self, brightening the red carpet with the pious, wholesome sparkle that can only come from praying twice a day! Clear-eyed beauty, no ulterior motives…what you see with Starlight is what you get. pic.twitter.com/CZU6MwWhAx

Back from his temporary leave, it’s The Deep! He walked the carpet dressed as a jellyfish, which is apparently an animal made extinct in recent years by underwater fracking! Ya learn something new every day (and news to us because Vought does not participate in such things.) pic.twitter.com/WwH9LSH1Z8

Well, Black Noir certainly knows how to stay on brand. Our red carpet reporter asked if he spruced anything up for the Supies and he pantomimed that he was actually wearing a beautiful necklace underneath all the… leather. pic.twitter.com/wwhXcMGo46
