I thoroughly approve of the Critics Choice TV awards results tonight, as both The Americans and Silicon Valley are fantastic shows worthy of the top honor. I'm surprised they didn't go for Transparent in Comedy series, but hey, they still awarded Jeffrey Tambor and Bradley Whitford for the show. I'm not as crazy about those Better Call Saul acting wins though- both guys are great continuing their Breaking Bad roles, but I was really hoping for some final season love for Justified (other than Sam Elliott in guest performer). Overall, it was a pretty decent set. Bound to have next to no bearing on the Emmys of course, but they keep trying.
