Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons are two of the seven actors from 'Fargo' Season 2 nominated
The outstanding Fargo deservedly led the TV nominations for the Critics Choice awards this year- that show managed to surpass its excellent first season with an absolutely phenomenal second, so it's nice to see that recognized. This year the BFCA is awarding TV and film at the same show, instead of reserving television honors to a separate ceremony. Not sure what the point of that is, except to make the show longer, but since they're not trying to influence anything with the TV nominations, they reward more stuff that actually needs and deserves it, like recognition for The Knick and The Leftovers and UnREAL- those are some inspired choices here, along with Rectify. Truly some of the best shows on TV in this list.
