Watchmen, Unbelievable, and The Mandalorian score TCA Award nominations

If we had to find a silver lining when it comes to being stuck in quarantine, it's that there is no shortage of good TV shows. And this year's list of nominees for the Television Critics Association Awards demonstrates the wide array of programs the organization of over 200 professional TV critics has been able to watch.

With four nominations each, HBO's Watchmen and Netflix's Unbelievable lead the pack of shows being honored in 2020. The two new series will be going head-to-head in every category where they share a nomination, including Individual Achievement in Drama in which Unbelievable's Kaitlyn Dever and Merritt Wever are in contention for the award with Watchmen's Regina King.

The two shows are also nominated alongside AMC drama Better Call Saul, FX on Hulu miniseries Mrs. America, Pop TV comedy Schitt’s Creek, and HBO drama Succession for Program of the Year, the biggest award given at the ceremony.

Some notable nominations include representation for new streaming services, like Disney+'s The Mandalorian and AppleTV+'s The Morning Show in the Outstanding New Program category.

“This was an incredible year for television, offering a variety of groundbreaking new series with fresh perspectives and renewed vigor for some veteran favorites,” said Sarah Rodman, TCA president and executive editor at EW. “Although we sadly will not have the opportunity to gather to honor these creative achievements in person, we look forward to sharing our selections for the season’s top programs when the winners are unveiled later this summer.”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will not be a formal in-person awards presentation. Winners, including the recipients of the Career Achievement and Heritage Awards, will be announced later this summer.
