The Television Critics Association last week announced nominations for this year’s TCA Awards, and I love that the categories are simple and to the point. We’re choosing the outstanding individual achievement in drama (Noah Wyle vs. Rhea Seehorn!) and comedy (the Harrison Ford-Jean Smart smackdown of our dreams), in addition to best new show and overall program of the year (“The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” beating out its scripted rivals? Could happen!).
