Watchmen and its star, Regina King, prevailed among the contenders for the 2020 Television Critics Association Awards. A ceremony was not held this year due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
King won Individual Achievement in Drama while the show itself picked up awards for Outstanding Achievement in Drama, Outstanding New Program, Outstanding Achievement in Movie, Miniseries or Special and Program of the Year. For Outstanding Achievement In Sketch/Variety Shows, A Black Lady Sketch Show from Robin Thede picked up the win.
“Entertainment and culture are intertwined and in this challenging year, never has that intersection been more crucial as both a mirror to examine tough reflections and a rabbit hole to escape the noise and scares outside our homes. The 2019-2020 television season was both a challenge and a balm,” said Sarah Rodman, TCA President and executive editor at Entertainment Weekly. “This year offered up many high-quality options appealing to a wide swath of audiences with eclectic subjects ranging from sports and superheroes, to side-splitting sitcoms, darkly fascinating dramas, insightful documentaries, kid-friendly series, and more. We are excited to see what the future of television has in store, and we look forward to celebrating in-person next year as we come together to honor this medium that means so much to all of us.”
