Critics Choice TV Nominees: Only One Network Nominee for Best Drama Series, Two for Comedy Series

Share

If you’re in the network TV business this morning, congrats if you’re from ABC or NBC. The former network scored two nominees for Best Comedy with “Blackish” and “Modern Family.” The latter has one entry for drama series for the new “This is Us.” That’s it. CBS got nothing. Nada. Zip.

All the other nominees are from cable or whatever– Netflix, Amazon.

The group included a show called “Fleabag” made by Amazon. I’ve never heard of it. Maybe you have. Amazon did not yield any nominations for Woody Allen’s series with Miley Cyrus and Elaine May, however.

The Critics Choice Awards are shown live on A&E December 11th. They will announce movie nominees on December 1st although it’s likely a couple of movies won’t be ready yet for screening.
