The 2018 winners of the prestigious Peabody awards for Entertainment were announced today. The news and journalism awards will come later, but here's what got the television prizes:
- A Series of Unfortunate Events (Netflix)
- American Vandal (Netflix)
- Better Call Saul (AMC)
- Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King (Netflix)
- Insecure (HBO)
- Last Week Tonight With John Oliver (HBO)
- Saturday Night Live: Political Satire 2017 (NBC)
- The Handmaid's Tale (Hulu)
- The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon)
I'm a little out of loop this year, having only watched John Oliver, SNL and Handmaid's Tale. I'm still considering catching up on Better Call Saul, but it hasn't happened yet and despite the praise, I'm reluctant to check out Mrs. Maisel (I really couldn't stand Gilmore Girls, and I've always hated Amy Sherman-Palladino's dialogue, so something tells me it wouldn't work for me).
