Fresh off a record opening for its second season, “The Bear” is celebrating more good news. The FX on Hulu series leads the 2023 Television Critics Association Awards nominations announced on Friday, in a tie with HBO hits “Succession” and “The Last of Us” for five nods each.
Voted on by more than 200 professional journalists from the U.S. and Canada, each covering television, the 39th Annual TCA Awards will put a spotlight on exceptional performances, series, creators, and stars spanning across all genres and platforms. The upcoming ceremony will announce the winners for 14 categories awarding outstanding achievements in Drama; Comedy; Miniseries; News and Information; Reality; Variety, Sketch or Talk Shows, and more, including the newly created Outstanding Achievement In Children’s Programming, which recognizes shows catering to children seven years old and under; and Outstanding Achievement In Family Programming, which recognizes shows created for youths from seven years old and up.
The combination of HBO and Max lead nominations as a whole for the second season in a row, with 20, including the two aforementioned series breaking into the most-coveted Program of the Year category alongside “Andor,” “Better Call Saul,” “Poker Face,” “The Bear,” “The Other Two,” “The White Lotus,” and last year’s big winner “Abbott Elementary.”
“The 2023 nominees for the TCA Awards boast an eclectic lineup from across the entertainment spectrum,” said Melanie McFarland, TCA President and TV Critic for Salon.com, in a statement that came along with the nominations announcement. “This season truly had something for everyone—from innovative comedies and gripping dramas, to immersive documentaries and refreshingly cerebral storytelling set in a galaxy far, far away. I am eager to see which stars and series our members have chosen to honor when the winners are revealed.”
