'Breaking Bad,' 'Orange is the New Black' and 'Fargo' Win Big at the Critics Choice TV Awards

Really great slate of winners from the Critics Choice awards this year. Orange is the New Black won in Comedy, while Fargo dominated in Miniseries and they didn't forget that the last season of Breaking Bad has still been better than any other drama that's aired so far since. Plus, yea for Tatiana Maslany for Orphan Black! Could an Emmy nomination be next?

Winners:

DRAMA

    •    Supporting Actress: Bellamy Young, Scandal
    •    Supporting Actor: Aaron Paul, Breaking Bad
    •    Guest Performer: Allison Janney, Masters of Sex
    •    Lead Actor: Matthew McConaughey, True Detective
    •    Lead Actress: Tatiana Maslany, Orphan Black
    •    Series: Breaking Bad

COMEDY

    •    Guest Performer: Uzo Aduba, Orange is the New Black
    •    Supporting Actor: Andre Braugher, Brooklyn Nine-Nine
    •    Supporting Actress: (tie) Kate Mulgrew, Orange is the New Black; Allison Janney, Mom
    •    Lead Actor: Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
    •    Lead Actress: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep
    •    Series: Orange is the New Black

TV MOVIE/MINISERIES

    •    Movie: The Normal Heart
    •    Miniseries: Fargo
    •    Lead Actor: Billy Bob Thornton, Fargo
    •    Lead Actress: Jessica Lange, American Horror Story: Coven
    •    Supporting Actor: Matt Bomer, The Normal Heart
    •    Supporting Actress: Allison Tolman, Fargo

REALITY/VARIETY

    •    Reality Series: Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey
    •    Reality-Competition Series: Shark Tank
    •    Host: Neil deGrasse Tyson, Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey
    •    Talk Show: The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon
    •    Animated Series: Archer

Other wins I love here are Fargo's Allison Tolman and Billy Bob Thornton beating Julia Roberts and Mark Ruffalo for The Normal Heart (although I wouldn't expect that to happen at the Emmys) and Cosmos deservedly taking Reality Series and Host. These awards don't traditionally mean much for the Emmy nominations (at least not yet), but we'll see if they can break through this year because they really went with some great picks. Aside from one, which was honoring Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show (ugh- he's so bland and brownose-y that it makes me queasy to even watch him). I'd take a thousand wins for The Daily Show over that mess.
