TCA Awards: Abbott Elementary Wins Big — Plus, Justice for Mandy Moore

Michael Ausiello

Winners for the 38th annual Television Critics Association (TCA) Awards were announced Saturday and ABC’s Abbott Elementary outclassed the competition with a leading four wins, including Individual Achievement in Comedy for star/creator Quinta Brunson, Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding New Series and the coveted Program of the Year.

Other highlights: This Is Us‘ Mandy Moore — whose Emmy snub was heard ’round the world — took home Individual Achievement in Drama honors; Netflix’s cancelled Baby-Sitters Club won Outstanding Youth Programming for the second year in a row; Hulu’s Dopesick triumphed as Outstanding Limited Series; and HBO’s Succession snagged the Outstanding Drama Series prize.
