HBO’s Succession and The Last of Us as well as FX/Hulu comedy The Bear lead all nominations for the 39th annual Television Critics Association’s awards.
The nominations, voted on by the more than 200 members of the Television Critics Association, also saw HBO and its streaming counterpart, Max, lead all platforms with a combined 20 nods including five each for Succession and Last of Us and two apiece for Barry, The Other Two and The White Lotus.
FX — which produces The Bear (five) followed in second place with 10, while Disney+ (Andor) and Peacock (Poker Face) tied for third with nine apiece.
The coveted program of the year race featured last year’s winner, ABC’s Abbott Elementary, joined by Andor, AMC’s Better Call Saul, Poker Face, Succession, The Bear, The Last of Us, The Other Two and The White Lotus.
The outstanding new program, which has been a category that helps crown some of the TV industry’s next awards darlings, features Andor, AMC’s Interview With the Vampire, Amazon Freevee’s Jury Duty, Peacock’s Mrs. Davis and Poker Face, Apple’s Shrinking, The Bear and The Last of Us.
The best drama category features three previous winners in Better Call Saul and Succession, with Andor, Interview With the Vampire, The Good Fight, The Last of Us, The White Lotus and Yellowjackets joining the fray.
The comedy series category again features last year’s winner, Abbott Elementary, as well as Barry, Poker Face, FX’s Reservation Dogs, Shrinking, The Bear, The Other Two and FX’s What We Do in the Shadows.
“The 2023 nominees for the TCA Awards boast an eclectic lineup from across the entertainment spectrum,” said Melanie McFarland, TCA president and TV critic for Salon.com. “This season truly had something for everyone — from innovative comedies and gripping dramas, to immersive documentaries and refreshingly cerebral storytelling set in a galaxy far, far away. I am eager to see which stars and series our members have chosen to honor when the winners are revealed.”
The TCA Awards will be announced Aug. 7 despite the fact that the summer press tour has been canceled in the wake of Hollywood’s labor strife that includes the ongoing strike by the Writers Guild of America. Winners of the TCA’s Career Achievement and Heritage Award winners will be announced at a later date.
