HBO drew the most Critics’ Choice Television Awards nominations, the Broadcast Television Journalists Association announced Wednesday.
HBO led all networks with 27, followed by FX with 16. FX’s Justified and HBO’s Olive Kitteridge were the most nominated shows with five each, according to the BTJA. The Americans (FX), Bessie (HBO), The Good Wife (CBS), Transparent (Amazon) and Wolf Hall (PBS) followed close behind with four nominations each.
“From streaming television to broadcast and cable, single-camera to multi-camera productions, inventive reality shows to high-end drama series, this year’s Critics’ Choice Television Awards contenders really span the gamut,” said BTJA President Joey Berlin in a statement. “It’s thrilling to continue to see such creativity and diversity in television programming, and as television journalists, it’s exciting to be able to share our favorites with viewers.”
