Nominees For Television Critics Awards Announced

The Television Critics Association announced their nominations this week for the 32nd Annual TCA Awards. For anyone wondering if “peek TV” applies more to network or cable shows, these nominations show that cable dramas are winning out by a huge margin. Between HBO’s 12 nominations, FX’s 11 nominations, and Netflix’s six, cable and streaming are truly replacing networks as the places to watch the best comedies and dramas. USA Network’s dark hacker drama Mr. Robot and FX’s scripted The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story earned the most nominations, with four each. Netflix’s Jessica Jones also scored a nomination for Outstanding New Program, which might be the first time a comic book adaptation has ever made the list.
