Television Critics Association (TCA) Award Winners

The biggest surprise is that Inside Amy Schumer took both comedy awards, denying the critical favorite Transparent any wins. Also kind of surprised by Better Call Saul's win. I guess that as the series picked up steam in the second half of its season, critics, who has previously not been as high on it as its predecessor, responded in kind. Empire's win vindicates its Emmy snubs, and while I'm happy for Jon Hamm (who has won before, I was hoping for either Viola Davis or Taraji P. Henson to boost their Emmy chances with a win.
