Who watches the Watchmen? The Television Critics Association, for one. Today, on September 14, the TCA announced the winners of the 36th Annual TCA Awards, which were awarded sans ceremony because of the COVID-19 pandemic. HBO was the big winner of this year’s awards, winning in six of the 13 total categories, with four awards honoring Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen. The “Individual Achievement” awards went to Regina King for Watchmen and Catherine O’Hara for Schitt’s Creek, and A Black Lady Sketch Show received some well-deserved recognition in the “Outstanding Achievement in Sketch/Variety Shows.” There were also big wins all around for [Saoirse Ronan voice] women. Big congrats also go to Alex Trebek, this year’s Lifetime Achievement honoree. Let’s celebrate that.
