You don’t need to possess much intelligence to know that Jean Smart is wholly deserving of two TCA Awards, with 2021’s television critics handing her the Individual Achievement in Comedy trophy for Hacks and naming her a Career Achievement Honoree for her robust contributions to the small screen. (Hey, not just anyone could fondle a superhero dildo and be Frasier’s girlfriend.) Among the year’s other TCA winners are I May Destroy You’s Michaela Coel for Individual Achievement in Drama and Mare of Easttown (with yet another glorious Smart performance, this time with 100 percent more Fruit Ninja) for Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries, or Specials. The nice guys over at Ted Lasso nabbed Outstanding New Program and Outstanding Achievement in Comedy. Read the full list of winners below.
