| Nominations for the 2014 TCA awards were announced on Tuesday, with multiple nods for legal drama The Good Wife, the final season of Vince Gilligan's meth series Breaking Bad and Netflix prison-based comedy-drama Orange is the New Black, which will compete in the New Program and Program of the Year categories. | |
| Inevitably, HBO's acclaimed crime epic True Detective also put in a strong showing. While Matthew McConaughey received an acting nod for his role as mumbling misanthrope Rust Cohle, Woody Harrelson, who played his partner Marty Hart, was left off the list. The show will compete here as a miniseries, despite HBO deciding to submit the show as a drama for the Emmys. That decision had been controversial among some TV execs, with FX's John Landgraf criticising the move. “It’s unfair for HBO to get actors that you can’t normally get to do a series who would do a close-ended show and pack the [drama actor] category,” he told Deadline in April. | |
| There were repeat nominations for several of last year's winners, including Louis CK, who won the Individual Achievement in Comedy award, Tatiana Maslany, who won the individual achievement in drama award for her impressive multi-character role in BBC America's Orphan Black, and Game of Thrones, which was named outstanding achievement in drama. | |
| The honours are voted for and presented by the Television Critics Association, a collection of US writers, bloggers and columnists. The ceremony itself, now in its 30th year, will take place on 19 July at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles. | |
