Hulu led this year’s CrimeCon Clue Awards, winning two major categories: “Only Murders in the Building” won the award for outstanding scripted series, while the streamer’s “Girl on the Run: The Hunt for America’s Most Wanted” landed the prize for outstanding docuseries.
Those were among the winners of the 2026 edition of the Clue Awards, which were announced Saturday night at the CrimeCon event in Las Vegas. Former “Dateline” correspondent Chris Hansen, now host of “Takedown With Chris Hansen,” hosted the ceremony. The three-day CrimeCon, held this year at Caesars Palace, recognizes true crime content in TV, film, podcasts and publishing.
