The Television Critics Association announced the nominees for the 2024 TCA Awards and, surprisingly, they come with some controversy. “Baby Reindeer,” “Ripley” and “Shogun” led all programs with five nominations each. “The Bear” earned four nominations while “Fargo” took three. That being said, both “Baby Reindeer” and “Fargo” earned noms for Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries or Specials which is utterly head-scratching.

The nominees for the prestigious Program of the Year are “Reindeer,” “The Bear,” “Hacks,” “Reservation Dogs,” and “Shogun.”
Notable nominations include “We Are Lady Parts” in Outstanding Achievement in Comedy; “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “Fellow Travelers” in Movies, Miniseries or Specials; “The Traitors” and “We’re Here” in Outstanding Achievement in Reality; and “Doctor Who,” “X-Men ’97,” “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” and “Renegade Nell” in Family Programming.
Full disclosure, this writer is a voting member of the Television Critics Association. To suggest we are not thrilled with the fact that “Baby Reindeer” or “Fargo” were somehow deemed eligible for both Limited Series and Drama is an understatement. The fact that “True Detective: Night Country” was also nominated in the Drama Series category instead of the Limited Series category is…not great.
This year, FX and Netflix led all networks with 16 nominations each while HBO/MAX landed 13. In reality, it should be noted that Disney Television (FX, Disney+, ABC, and NatGeo) earned 26 nominations overall.
