‘Breaking Bad,’ ‘True Detective,’ ‘Veep,’ ‘Good Wife’ and RuPaul Honored By Television Critics Association

It’s easy for critics to complain about the Emmys — but will the critics complain about their own awards? Unlikely. (Well, actually, there are probably differences of opinion, but at least they can’t say that they didn’t have a voice.)

Below, please find the winners of the Television Critics Association awards, as announced by “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star Terry Crews earlier this evening.

“This was truly a monumental year — not just for television, but for our organization, as a whole,” said Scott D.
