Critics Choice TV Awards Nominations for 2020: “When They See Us,” “Mrs. Maisel,” “Veep,” “The Crown,” Lead Pack and “Billions” Gets Some Love

Here are the nominations on the TV side of the Critics Choice Awards. All the shows were pretty evenly distributed. Ava Duvernay’s “When they See Us” led all noms with 6 for Netflix. The obsession with “Fleabag” continues, I’m not sure why. “Mrs. Maisel” lacked one big nod for Tony Shalhoub, who is the absolute Best Supporting Actor in Comedy.
