The Television Critics Association has announced its nominations for the 28th Annual TCA Awards, honoring television programs and stars in the genres of drama, comedy, news, reality, and children’s entertainment. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Showtime’s 2011 hit Homeland tops the list with four nominations — one specifically for star Claire Danes. Other unsurprising dramas with multiple nominations include the hard-hitting wonder Breaking Bad (about to enter the first half of its final season) and its intriguing AMC colleague Mad Men, as well as the HBO phenomenon Game of Thrones.
In the realm of comedy, cult frenzies like Community, Parks and Recreation, and Louie earned due nods. Additionally, the terrifically authentic Girls and the terrifically whimsical New Girl earned recognition in the Outstanding New Program category.
