Ted Lasso, I May Destroy You, Hacks lead the 2021 Television Critics Association nominees

Now that this year’s Emmy nominations are here, The Television Critics Association (TCA) have also announced the nominees for their 37th Annual TCA Awards. The organization is comprised of over 200 professional television critics and journalists from the U.S. and Canada. The TCA presents awards in 13 distinct categories like Drama, Comedy, Miniseries, Youth, News and Information, Reality, and Variety, Sketch or Talk shows.

Most of the usual suspects made the cut for the 2021 TCA’s, including Ted Lasso, WandaVision, Mare Of Easttown, and The Queen’s Gambit. The TCA nods also rectify some glaring Emmy snubs with recognitions for The Underground Railroad’s Thuso Mbedu, Girls5eva’s Renée Elise Goldsberry, and shows like Superstore and For All Mankind.

There are also some well-deserved surprises like nominations for Mythic Quest’s Charlotte Nicdao, Lupin’s Omar Sy, as well as programs like P-Valley, Bo Burnham: Inside, and the recently canceled Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. As for the network tally, it’s actually streaming platforms that come out stronger than broadcast, with Netflix leading with 15 total nominees, followed by HBO’s 14 and HBO Max’s 10.

The full list of the TCA Awards nominees is below, followed by a detailed breakdown by network and series. The winners will be announced later this summer, including for the Career Achievement and the Heritage Award. As Schitt’s Creek’s Moira Rose (last year’s winner Catherine O’Hara) would say, let our favorite season a.k.a awards season commence:
