The Television Critics Association announced the winners of the 36th annual TCA Awards on Monday, and hopefully it’s a sign of what we can expect from the upcoming Emmy Awards this weekend.
HBO’s limited series Watchmen, which explores the legacy of white supremacy and systemic racism in America, a subject that has only become even more relevant since the show aired, ended up the big winner this year, walking away with four awards, including the top prize, Program of the Year. Star Regina King also took home the award for Individual Achievement in Drama, beating out Better Call Saul‘s Rhea Seehorn, Unbelievable‘s Kaitlyn Dever and Merritt Wever, Mrs. America‘s Cate Blanchett, I Know This Much Is True‘s Mark Ruffalo, and Succession‘s Jeremy Strong. The show itself was also the recipient of the award for Outstanding Achievement In Movie or Miniseries as well as Outstanding New Program.
