“True Detective” is also up for numerous awards, including Outstanding New Program.
“These nominations are generated by the TCA membership, and choosing the best in television is not an easy task,” TCA President Scott D. Pierce said. “Not because good television is hard to find, but because there are so many deserving shows from which to choose.”
