HBO and streaming service Netflix drew the most TCA Awards nominations among networks and streaming services, the Television Critics Association announced Thursday.
HBO garnered 16 TCA Award nominations to top all services for the second consecutive year, while Netflix generated 10 nods -- the only two networks to earn double-digit nominations, according to the TCA. More than 200 professional television critics and journalists from the United States and Canada voted for programming showcased on broadcast, cable and streaming outlets.
HBO’s drama series Watchmen and Netflix’s Unbelievable each garnered four nominations to lead all shows, said the organization.
“This was an incredible year for television, offering a variety of groundbreaking new series with fresh perspectives and renewed vigor for some veteran favorites,” said Sarah Rodman, TCA president and executive editor at Entertainment Weekly. “Although we sadly will not have the opportunity to gather to honor these creative achievements in person, we look forward to sharing our selections for the season’s top programs when the winners are unveiled later this summer.”
TCA Awards winners will be announced later this summer, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will not be a formal in-person awards presentation.
