Last weekend the Television Critics Association awards were handed out to much deserved recepients. The TCA “represents more than 200 journalists writing about television for print and online outlets in the United States and Canada.” Members annually vote for the favorite TV shows, actors, and actresses. This year the 26th annual TCA awards took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and was hosted by Dax Shephard (Parenthood). Glee stole the show with three major wins in the following categories: Program of the Year, Outstanding New Program, and Individual Achievement In Comedy (this one went specifically to Jane Lynch). In a rare instance, there was a tie for Outstanding Achievement In Drama; it went to Lost and Breaking Bad.
