2013 TCA Award Nominees Announced

The Television Critics Association has announced the nominations for its 2013 awards ceremony. FX’s The Americans leads the pack with four nominations, including Program of the Year. Last year’s winner, Game of Thrones, is nominated once again this year.


The TCA Awards recognize not only the year’s best programs, but also the best performers. From established names like Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston to newcomers like Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany, the awards cover quite a spectrum of talent from the past year.

This year’s awards also mark the first time an exclusively online program has been nominated: Netflix’s House of Cards earned nods in two categories.

The awards ceremony will take place August 3 in Beverly Hills. The full list of nominees can be found below.
