TCA president Jacqueline Cutler reflected on the diversity and quality of television over the past year. “It was a year of brilliant television, from an epic historical drama to a harrowing documentary,” she stated. “We’re thrilled to honor all who created these shows, often against great odds, as many were worked on during the pandemic and interrupted by strikes. Congratulations to all of the winners.”
