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?

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.
