With the 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards less than a week away and five nights of virtual Creative Emmy Awards beginning tonight, the Television Critics Association finally unveiled their own annual honorees with the TCA Awards. And, as expected, HBO’s “Watchmen,” “Succession” and Pop’s “Schitt’s Creek” took the top categories. A trifecta many believe will be duplicated at the Emmys.

In fact, Damon Lindelof’s acclaimed mini-series took four TCA awards: Individual Achievement in Drama (Regina King), Outstanding New Program, Outstanding Movie, Mini-Series or Special and the coveted Program of the Year. “Succession” won Outstanding Achievement in Drama while “Schitt’s Creek” took Individual Achievement in Comedy (Catherine O’Hara) and Outstanding Achievement in Comedy.
Other notable winners included “A Black Lady Sketch Show,” “The Last Dance” and “Cheer.”
The organization also recognized Alex Trebek as their Career Achievement honoree and gave the annual Heritage Award to “Star Trek.”
Traditionally, the TCA Awards are handed out in a ceremony during the organization’s summer press tour and conveniently in the middle of Emmy voting. Neither the press tour nor the ceremony were possible due to the coronavirus pandemic.
