TCA 2014 Awards: Double Wins for Veep and True Detective, Breaking Bad and Orange is the New Black Win Top Awards

Thanks to an accidentally leaked piece from Variety, the 2014 winners of the Television Critics Association have been revealed, with Breaking Bad winning Program of the Year for the 2nd year in a row and Orange is the New Black taking New Program. Veep was a double winner in Comedy Series (in a tie with Louie) and Individual Performance (Comedy) for star Julia Louis-Dreyfus. True Detective was also a double winner, in Miniseries and Individual Performance (Drama) for Matthew McConaughey. Not terribly surprising any but two surprise wins came in the form of The Good Wife‘s triumph in Best Drama Program and RuPaul’s Drag Race in Reality.

Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.

He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
