TCA Awards: Ted Lasso Scores With 3 Wins, Including Program of the Year
Ted Lasso was the big winner at the 37th annual Television Critics Association (TCA) Awards, picking up a leading three trophies, including the coveted Program of the Year.
The Apple TV+ smash was also honored as Outstanding New Program and Outstanding Achievement in Comedy. In something of an upset, titular Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis lost out in the Outstanding Individual Achievement in Comedy category to Hacks’ Jean Smart (who was also recognized with the TCA’s annual Career Achievement Award).
Elsewhere, Netflix’s The Crown won for Outstanding Achievement in Drama, Michaela Coel picked up the Individual Achievement in Drama prize for HBO’s I May Destroy You, and HBO’s Mare of Easttown was named Outstanding Miniseries, Movie or Special.
This is the second year in a row that the TCA Awards scrapped its traditional in-person ceremony due to the pandemic. The critics group did, however, assemble pre-taped acceptance speeches from all of the winners — you can watch those above.

It doesn’t make sense that The Crown is best drama, but doesn’t make overall best program over Bridgerton.
Program of the Year takes into consideration a multitude of criteria, not just quality. –Mgmt.
