The Television Critics Association Awards honored the best programs on the small screen between 2023-24 at the 40th TCA Awards on Friday, July 12. The winners were selected by the TCA’s membership of more than 230 TV journalists from across the United States and Canada.
Prizes last night went to FX’s period drama Shōgun for Program of the Year, Outstanding Achievement in Drama, Outstanding New Program, and Individual Achievement in Drama for Anna Sawai. Max’s Hacks also scored big, bagging the Individual Achievement in Comedy Award for Jean Smart. The series also took home the Outstanding Achievement in Comedy Award, beating out last year’s category victor The Bear, and 2022 winner Abbott Elementary.
Twin Peaks, created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, was awarded the Heritage Award for its enduring significance and impact. The 1990 series was led by Kyle MacLachlan and ran for two seasons.
