Less than a year into its debut, The Pitt is already staking its claim on the 2025 awards season. HBO Max’s medical series made a clean sweep in the drama categories at the 41st annual Television Critics Association (TCA) Awards, announced today. Consider this a promising sign for the show’s chances at the Emmys next month—watch out, Severance. (The Apple TV+ thriller earned the most TCA noms, but ultimately left empty-handed.) Meanwhile, The Studio and Adolescence made waves in the comedy and limited series categories, respectively, with other coveted accolades handed to Matlock‘s Kathy Bates and the long-running Sesame Street (which has had a game-changing year so far).
TCA’s 235 members, comprising television reporters, critics, and editors across the U.S. and Canada (including two The A.V. Club staffers), voted to choose the winners. The top picks were revealed via the organization’s social media accounts, with the org also unveiling its new logo today. Check out the full list below (winners in bold) and brace yourself for the linked acceptance speeches from the likes of Noah Wyle, Somebody Somewhere‘s Bridget Everett, and, most adorably of them all, Elmo.
