Nominaties bekend voor de Critics’ Choice Awards

De Broadcast Television Journalists Association maakte deze week zijn nominaties bekend voor de jaarlijkse Critics’ Choice Awards, het kleine broertje van de Golden Gklobes en de Emmy’s. Maar door een aantal bediscussieerbare toezeggingen door de vereniging, haakte ongeveer 15% van het ledenaantal dit jaar af. De genomineerden werden bijgevolg gekozen door een kleinere groep journalisten in vergelijking met vorig jaar. Maar van echte verrassingen kan met niet spreken, vermits bijna alle genomineerden erg voor de hand lagen. Nieuwkomers dit jaar zijn o.a. Atlanta, The Crown, Stranger Things, Westworld en This Is Us. De awards worden uitgereikt op 11 december.
