Game of Thrones, Fleabag, Pose land major TCA Award nominations

The category is: Awards season eleganza!

With appearances in four categories, Ryan Murphy’s groundbreaking LGBT drama Pose has tied with Netflix’s Natasha Lyonne-starring Russian Doll as the Television Critics Association’s most-nominated series of the year.

The organization announced Wednesday the full list of nominees for the 2019 TCA Awards, with the hour-long program (following a group of queer and transgender performers as they navigate the Harlem ballroom scene in 1980s New York City) earning nominations for Individual Achievement in Drama (Billy Porter), Outstanding Achievement in Drama, Outstanding New Program, and Program of the Year.

Joining Pose in the Program of the Year category are the last season of HBO’s popular fantasy series Game of Thrones, the harrowing HBO drama Chernobyl, Netflix’s Ava DuVernay-directed Central Park Five biopic When They See Us, Russian Doll, and the Phoebe Waller-Bridge-led comedy Fleabag, which also earned notices among the comedy series and comedy performance sets.

Other notable 2019 nominees include Julia Louis-Dreyfus for her work on the final season of Veep, Netflix’s new dramedy Dead to Me, starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini, Killing Eve‘s Jodie Comer, Sharp Objects star Amy Adams, The Great British Baking Show, and a pair of nominations for Schitt’s Creek (including one for lead actress Catherine O’Hara).

HBO scored the most nominations for a single network with 15, followed closely by Netflix’s 14 nods and FX’s eight. Approximately 220 television critics and journalists from the United States and Canada voted on this year’s nominees.

“From departing juggernauts that changed the TV game to new shows that test the boundaries of what the medium can do and be, this has been a landmark season for television across all networks and platforms,” Daniel Fienberg, TCA President, said of the 2019 nominees via statement. “This strong nomination roster represents a diverse blend of talented performers, many of whom are also creators, and groundbreaking content that made us laugh, cry and gasp. Every category is bursting with hard choices, but we couldn’t ask for a better problem to have as we gather together to honor yet another terrific television season and celebrate 35 years of the TCA Awards.”

The 35th Annual TCA Awards ceremony — hosted by Desus & Mero — will be held Saturday, Aug. 3 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. Read on for the full list of 2019 TCA Award nominees.
