Ted Lasso leads Television Critics Association Awards nominations
Jason Sudeikis' comedy Ted Lasso leads the nominations for the 2021 Television Critics Association Awards, with five nods.
Fresh off the back of the Apple TV+ show earning 20 Emmy nominations, the programme was named in categories including Individual Achievement in Comedy for Jason and his co-star Hannah Waddingham, Outstanding New Program and Outstanding Achievement in Comedy. It's also up for the prestigious Program of the Year gong.
It was also a successful nominations haul for Disney+ programme WandaVision, HBO's Mare of Easttown, starring Kate Winslet, Jean Smart's Hacks and Michaela Coel's I Will Destroy You - all of which are up for four awards.
