Television Critics Association name best shows and best performances of the year
Ted Lasso, The Crown, and Mare of Easttown have all picked up TCA Awards
The Television Critics Association has awarded the best shows and performances of the year.
Michaela Coel took home the award for Individual Achievement in Drama for HBO's I May Destroy You, while Apple TV Plus's Ted Lasso scored three awards for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, Program of the Year, and Outstanding New Program. HBO's Kate Winslet-starring Mare of Easttown won for Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries, Or Specials.
Netflix's The Crown, meanwhile, won its first ever TCA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Drama, and the streamer's The Baby-Sitters Club won for Outstanding Achievement in Youth Programming, with Deaf U tied with Showtime's Couples Therapy for Outstanding Achievement in Reality Programming.
I May Destroy You, The Crown, Mare of Easttown, and Ted Lasso are all up for multiple Emmys this year, so we can probably consider the TCA Awards results a good indication of what to expect at the ceremony this Sunday 19.
