'Ted Lasso,' 'The Crown,' 'The Mandalorian,' 'Cruel Summer,' 'New Amsterdam' Among HCA TV Awards Winners
VARIETY
By Michael Schneider
After being delayed a week and switched from an in-person event to a virtual ceremony, the Hollywood Critics Association revealed the winners for its first-ever HCA TV Awards - and Apple TV Plus' "Ted Lasso" led the pack with four victories.
"Ted Lasso" was named best streaming comedy, best comedy actor in a streaming series (Jason Sudeikis), best comedy supporting actor in a streaming series (Brett Goldstein) and best comedy supporting actress in a streaming series (Hannah Waddingham, tied with "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder). HBO was the most awarded outlet, with seven wins overall, followed by NBC (six).
The HCA Awards separated streaming from broadcast and cable, making for multiple wins among shows and performers who are going head-to-head in the Emmy race next month - for example, in drama actress, both Emma Corrin (streaming) and Mj Rodriguez (cable) picked up wins at the HCA TV Awards, but they will face off at the Emmys.
The decision to split broadcast, cable and streaming into separate categories allowed network shows - which rarely receive awards love these days - to get a bit of the spotlight. NBC's "New Amsterdam" won for broadcast drama, and also picked up an honorary "Impact Award," while NBC's "Young Rock" was named best broadcast comedy. Cable shows also getting some attention were Syfy's "Resident Alien," for cable comedy, and Freeform's "Cruel Summer," for cable drama.
Meanwhile, Disney Plus' "The Mandalorian" was named best streaming drama and its "WandaVision" was named best streaming limited/anthology/TV movie. HBO's "Mare of Easttown" was named best broadcast or cable limited/anthology/TV movie.
"While these past 17 months have been incredibly difficult for many of us, television has once again become our best friend," said HCA Chairman Scott Menzel. "Series like 'Ted Lasso,' 'Hacks' and 'Young Rock' provided us with a sense of joy and happiness during these troubled times. Dramatic series such as 'New Amsterdam,' 'Lovecraft Country' and 'Pose' were as entertaining as they were educational. These are only a few of the shows that were nominated, but it is so inspiring to see all of these passionate stories being told from diverse storytellers that aren't afraid to touch upon timely issues including racism, COVID-19 and LGBTIQ rights."
