The TCA Awards are voted on by 200 professional TV critics and journalists.
Announcing the winners, TCA President Candace Havens said, “The past year in television offered a wide variety of standout programming. Viewers were treated to shows that were fearless, thought-provoking and original, spanning far beyond the traditional conventions. Whether it was the hard-hitting drama of Homeland, the elegance of Downton Abbey, the brash honesty of Louie or any of our other winners — truly, there was something for everyone. The TCA is proud to honor these outstanding programs with the help of the talented and award-winning Bryan Cranston.”
