Shock: Critics Choice TV Noms Snub “The Bear” With 1 Nod, Give Comeback to Some Broadcast Shows

The Critics Choice TV Nominations are out. Surprise! The broadcast networks have made a little comeback after years of omission.

Not just “Abbott Elementary.”

“Matlock,” “St. Denis Medical,” “Young Sheldon,” and “Found” got some traction with a smattering of noms. Annie Potts from “Young Sheldon” should win after decades of perfect comedy performances. Come on CCA!

The big shocker: Only Liza Colón-Zayas was nominated from “The Bear,” for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy. The rest of “The Bear” was snubbed, even Jeremy Allen White. Well, “The Bear” is not a comedy, it’s a drama with comedy. I don’t know what happened.

CCA TV awards air on January 12th Live on the E! channel in the same action packed awards show as the CCA Movie Awards. Don’t miss them! Chelsea Handler is hosting and the telecast is packed with stars!
