Fresh off of a record-breaking second season opener, “The Bear” is celebrating more good news. The FX on Hulu series leads the 2023 Television Critics Association Awards nominations announced Friday, tied with HBO hits “Succession” and “The Last of Us” for five nods apiece.
Voted for by more than 200 professional journalists from the United States and Canada, each covering television, the 39th Annual TCA Awards will highlight outstanding performances, series, creators and stars spanning all genres and platforms. The upcoming ceremony will announce the winners of 14 categories recognizing outstanding achievement in theatre; Comedy; mini-series; News and information; Reality; Variety, sketch or talk shows, and more, including the all-new Outstanding Achievement In Children’s Programming, which rewards programming for children seven and under; and Outstanding Achievement In Family Programming, which recognizes shows created for young people age seven and older.
