The 2nd annual Critics’ Choice Television Awards were announced today. The winners will be announced on the evening of Monday, June 18th, in a ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
“We are very excited by these nominations, reflecting the amazing diversity and creativity that is exploding on the small screen today,” said Joey Berlin, acting president of BTJA (Broadcast Television Journalism Association). “In every genre, audiences are witnessing a New Golden Age where imagination knows no bounds, from mass appeal entertainment to quirky originals where one person’s unique vision can delight a more limited audience.
