‘TCA Awards: ‘Succession’ and ‘The Bear’ Among Outstanding TV Programs of 2022-2023 Season’
The Television Critics Association (TCA) recently announced the recipients of its annual awards, honoring the outstanding TV programs of the 2022-2023 season. Despite the cancellation of the TCA press tour due to ongoing strikes among writers and actors, TCA members voted enthusiastically for their favorite shows and recognized exceptional achievements in various categories.
This year, Succession received accolades for Outstanding Achievement in Drama and Program of the Year, in recognition of its remarkable final season. Another standout show, The Bear, was honored as Outstanding New Program and for its Outstanding Achievement in Comedy during its first season. The second season of The Bear is currently available for streaming and continues to impress viewers.
The complete list of winners of the 39th annual TCA Awards includes:
– Outstanding Achievement In News and Information: The U.S. and the Holocaust (PBS)
– Outstanding Achievement In Reality Programming: Jury Duty (Amazon Freevee)
– Outstanding Achievement In Variety, Talk Or Sketch: I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson (Netflix; also the 2022 winner in this category)
– Outstanding New Program: The Bear (FX on Hulu)
– Outstanding Achievement In Movies, Miniseries, Or Specials: Beef (Netflix)
These awards are particularly meaningful as they are bestowed by more than 200 TCA members who cover TV for various publications and media sites across the United States and Canada. Usually, the TCA summer tour provides an opportunity for members to gather in person and announce the award winners at a special event held in Los Angeles. However, this year’s winners were announced through a press release due to the circumstances surrounding the cancellation of the tour.
The TCA Awards recognize the exceptional talent and creativity that go into producing outstanding television programs. From informative documentaries to reality shows, variety programs, and compelling dramas, these awards showcase the diverse range of content being produced in the entertainment industry.
Although the TCA summer tour may not have taken place, the dedication of TV critics in casting their votes highlights the continued commitment to celebrating achievements in the TV landscape. This year’s winners, including Succession and The Bear, have captivated audiences and left a lasting impact on viewers.
As we eagerly anticipate future seasons and new programs, it is clear that the television industry remains vibrant, delivering exceptional storytelling and entertainment. The TCA Awards serve as a reminder of the power of television in shaping our culture and providing compelling narratives that resonate with audiences worldwide.
