In a possible precursor for Netflix’s entry into major Emmy competition, “House of Cards” scored two nominations for the third annual Critics’ Choice Television Awards, set for June 10 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
“Cards” earned nods for Kevin Spacey for drama actor and Corey Stoll for supporting actor, though the show was left out of the drama series race.
Overall, HBO led the CCTAs with 21 nominations, followed by FX with 19. “Parks and Recreation” actress and standup comic Retta will host the kudofest, held by the Broadcast Television Journalists Assn. and livestreamed this year on UStream. Bob Bain will exec produce.
CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory” and FX’s “American Horror Story: Asylum” and led individual programs with six nominations each, followed by NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” and Sundance’s “Top of the Lake” with five apiece.
Earning four noms each were FX’s “The Americans” and “Louie,” AMC’s “Breaking Bad,” HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” CBS’ “The Good Wife,” Fox’s “New Girl” and USA’s “Political Animals.”
“Big Bang,” “Louie,” “New Girl” and “Parks and Recreation” were nominated for top comedy series, alongside ABC’s “The Middle” and HBO’s “Veep.”
In drama, the series nominees were “Americans,” “”Breaking Bad,” “Good Wife,” “Thrones,” PBS’ “Downton Abbey” and Showtime’s “Homeland” (the defending Emmy champ).
The CCTAs are the first kudos recognizing television since the Golden Globes and the first to reflect the entirety of the soon-to-be completed TV season, as seen in the noms given to relatively recent premieres like “Americans,” “Cards” and “Top of the Lake,” as well as Sundance’s “Rectify,” BBC America’s “Orphan Black” and the upcoming HBO movie “Behind the Candelabra.”
“This year’s nominations reflect the expanding definition of television, with nominated programs and performances representing new platforms as well as broadcast and cable,” said BTJA President Joey Berlin.
Among typical Emmy favorites not receiving nominations were “Modern Family” in comedy series and “Mad Men” in drama. “Modern,” which typically cleans up in supporting actor and actress nominations, earned only one, for Sarah Hyland.
